Sinopse

Hope exists. Depression is not a life sentence. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kathy Knochel and Ted Witzig Jr. chart the course for walking through depression to the other side. Show notes: There are different kinds of depression. Treatments can vary. However, the path through depression typically has three benchmarks. The first is changing behavior. The second is a shift in thinking. The third is an improved mood. 1.       Behavior activation: ·        Physical activity: moving the body. ·        Social interaction: engaging with people. ·        Meaningful activities: engage in small, doable things in a consistent manner to develop a sense of competency. 2.       Engage thinking through counseling: ·        Challenge negative self-talk through healthy truth based in Scripture. ·        Medicine (in some cases) can be beneficial in helping the mind think well and engage the therapeutic treatment. 3.       Positive mood shifts follow improved thinking.
