around 6.6% of the U.S population experiences major depressive disorder each year
So many people say things for attention these days, theres no way those numbers are right
That's kind of harsh Mindy, you don't know what people are going through
What Mindy didn't know was that Josh was recently diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder after Emma told his mother she was noticing symptoms.
Josh had been experiencing insomnia, lack of concentration, feelings of hopelessness, loss of appetite, and even quit the basketball team.
Me: My mom is making me babysit my sister tonight kms
Since Mindy doesn't know about Josh's diagnosis, she says things that may be harmful
Emma knows that Mindy's words are making it harder for Josh to accept his diagnosis and get help.
Yeah, I think you're right
Josh, I think it's time you talk to someone
I'm already on Zoloft but I still feel lost with my own mind. I need more help.
That's what I'm here for, we can start cognitive therapy to help you understand your thoughts and we'll get you feeling better.
4 months later...
With the help of a supportive friend, medication, and cognitive therapy; Josh is enjoying life again.
