Was feeling a little under the weather when I filmed this video... hopefully I was able to get my points across in a way that made sense/ was digestible! All books and studies mentioned can be found under the "Research" section of the description box.

Thank you so much for being open and talking about mental health! Your a blessing!

I'm really enjoying this series on depression. "What affects the body affects the mind, what affects the mind affects the body", what a great quote to take away from this video.

Another amazing video Julianne, having a brain injury and lupus all of these factors hit the mark and makes complete sense. Keep them coming

Chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, cptsd, traumas. Deficiencies. Trace minerals. Vitamin d, b1, b9, b12 ect. Have you looked into b9 L methylfolate and depression? And of course tyroid issues. Which stress reaps havoc on all the above.

When under heavy stress I could feel my body breaking down, with illness entering into my weakest points of my body.I had to mentally release all of these restrictions, to maintain my health and avoid hospitalization.I have utilized meditation for most of my life to maintain my health.If I feel any restrictions or problems arising, I release them through deep meditation.We have the power to take command of our immune system, if we learn how to meditate correctly and keep it up for decades.I haven't even caught a cold since 1990.

Psilocybin has "potent anti-inflammatory" properties, which is currently being studied in Alzheimer's patients as a possible treatment. Funnily, it is also why you sometimes tear-up, have a runny nose, have to "poop", have phlegm, sweat, etc., as your orifices relax and secrete. (Not sure about the yawning thing, though.) Anecdotally, I have noticed my tinnitus goes away during psilocybin treatments, which I am sure is related. And for sure, my ruminative depression/anxiety has not surfaced in over two years (since my first treatment).

Edit: subscriber 301 here! :) What an honor to be included in one of your videos! And thanks for spending the time to pack all your research into these neat and tidy easily understood mini lectures! :) Also, I started on Dr. Orloff's Empath's Survival Guide. I few chapters in and she's definitely talking about me, ha! Schopenhauer recognized what you'd mentioned about our minds being very much part of our bodies, and what feels like our will, something separate, something outside of ourselves, is deeply ingrained into our biology.

Many of these videos including this one really hits home for me.. I've basically binge watched most of these videos.. I've never done that before and I don't know how I feel about that.. Anyway, I hope you're feeling better.

I so wish "loss of appetite" was a symptom of my depression. XD

Ok 👌 thanks 🙏 peace ✌️

That 37% genetics does seem very high and quite eye opening. The comment that you quoted hit it on the nail, what is the root cause? Masking it with medication is never the answer but I do see it's need for extreme circumstances. On the flip side, do you think we've gotten so disconnected with our inner selves that we are constantly looking outside of us, or something physical (like medication) for answers or temporary relief? I know for everyone it's different and depression can happen for a number of reasons, of all the people I know who struggle with this and some who have gotten a better handle on it have always said it was a mindset shift, realization and awareness by finding the root cause and bringing those to the surface. However, easier said than done. By the way look at you passing 500 subs! woooohoooo!

Hey, In a portion of this video you spoke about HSP and coping mechanisms for people who have HSP. I feel I am going to share with you things that are a little personal, but I highly respect your views so I am willing to share.. I have a fairly large degree of HSP, and there have been times where I have been physically debilitated in moments by this.. I have gone to therapists before, and there were several practices that they recommend I introduce into my life. I did and still do. But I feel I may have continued to push too hard to act like a stereotypical man and ignore my emotional state. Like a circuit breaker breaking, my mental state did the same. In order to cope I have found myself, at times, isolating from everyone to an unhealthy degree.. But cutting out the world has seemingly become my new coping method?? COVID hasn't helped the situation either I guess.. I am blessed with amazing friends and family, and they have been incredibly patient and kind. But I am reaching out and hopefully I can grasp another way.. I am deeply sorry I wrote a book to you just now but, like I said before, I respect you and your words really resonate with me. I hope you can share with me some ideas or methods you have exercised in your own life to cope. Thank you also for reading these comments.. It means a lot to us : )
