Are you really depressed or are you just sad? Tune in for a "Reality Check" as Life Coach and Author Chandra Alexander talks about the differences between clinical depression and sadness.
Depression is different than sadness. Depression results when you do not deal with your sadness.
Life is a mixture of both happy and sad; this is normal and natural.
We are taught sadness is "bad", so we end up being ashamed and stuffing our feelings.
It is appropriate to be sad because sometimes things are sad: people die, get sick, our hearts get broken.
Anti-depressants take away the anxiety but keep us numb. You must "feel" to get healthy.
