Depression is not a choice, but how we talk about it is
As a doctor who studies, treats, & experienced depression - I have learned that the way we talk about depression has a profound impact on our ability to heal. When we say phrases such as, “my depression” it gives power to depression and can make it a part of you. But it’s not a part of you. Depression is not a part of you! You may be experiencing it, but it does not represent you, & it is not permanent. Keep going, I’m so proud of you🤜🏼🤛🏽—#doctor #depression #mentalhealth #psychiatry #depressionhelp #psychiatrist #mentalhealthawareness
