    As someone who has spent a significant amount of my life in a state of depression, I am SO relieved to hear her acknowledge some people cannot talk themselves out of it. My childhood was fine, thank you. My parents were (and are) patient, caring, loving people. Nobody abused me. Yet the feeling of joy or even contentment eluded me. I was/am lucky as a combination of medications eventually worked. I still have some very difficult days but compared to where I have been I am exponentially better. My doctor of many years summed it up well when she said "Gary, you could talk and talk and talk all day. It would make no difference. This is about chemicals in your brain. For some reason they don't work well so let's help your brain and fix it." It took a while, but we did.

      I always ask myself how I let myself get to this point. I grew up the same way. I have a great family that I tend to isolate myself from. Lost in my own thoughts. Even with people in the room it feels empty. I kind of just shut down. I feel awful they don't deserve to have to go through my bad days. My husband always tells me I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. Go take my meds and change my mood. Only if it worked liked that. For the past 20 plus years it's been up and down with the medication. I am glad you have found something that works.

      I suspect that is a little causative and not just correlational. As Dr. Mayberg noted, depression causes people to operate somewhat slower than the normative population, which includes written/typed communication. That gives us more time to ensure that words are spelled correctly and to edit our response. Since it requires more neurological exertion of us, when we make the effort, we want it to mean something. I'd hate to put 15 minutes into a response only to have someone prove to me that I write like a 5-year-old on acid.

    This is an extraordinary presentation. It explains so much about the void, the pit of negativity. When I experienced a major acute depressive episode, I could not imagine ever returning to a normal life. At the time, I had a friend who demanded that I call her, that I tell her about my depression, etc. She could not and would not accept that her needs were not part of my recovery. As expected, she began exhibiting anger. As I recovered with psychotherapy and anti-depressants, I saw the toxicity of this relationship for what it was and, this is a huge gift from the process, ended the relationship. Many depressed people recount similar stories.

    I'm 62 and I've lived with it all my life. People who don't have it can't understand how much hope something like this brings into our lives. Depression has been like being wrapped in a rotting shroud all my life and I've lived through a number of suicide attempts just to try to escape the pain. I've cut myself to try to let some of the pain out, or at least be able to see pain when I bleed. It hurts in a way you can never explain to someone who doesn't have it. 'Where?' they ask. Depending on when they ask, it's everywhere. Or sometimes you manage to get 'I don't know' through the tears. They could do this to me tonight because each day I lose more and more strength to fight.

    One of THE BEST Ted talks I've seen on depression! Not only looking into methods for treatment resistant depression, but also listening to the person being treated and not just another case number! I've been dealing with depression for over 20 years and tried all different meds...and they either have me sleep 12-14hrs a day or really bad side effects. Because nothing worked I couldn't keep a job and ended up on disability. I've been using a more natural approach and going to counseling which help some, just not enough to get my life back. This sounds promising and would love to learn more. Thank You Dr Mayberg!

    If you have enough stress and worry over a long period of time then it can tip over in to depression. Because being stressed and not at ease day in day out for years and years will exhaust a persons adrenal gland and depletes the feel good chemicals in their brains too. If someone is carrying around feelings of guilt and shame and self loathing, then these emotions can also trigger a depression. Enough worry and stress will cause a big depression. I believe there are always reasons people are depressed. Even if some arent conscious of it.

    Great... I wish there are more doctors like her and more research will be done for mapping the brain network for mental illness so that brain scan for mental illness is as common as MRI for bone\join injury. Anxiety and depression is a disease that doesn't get enough focus. Except for Pharmaceutical companies, who spent millions into drugs that make them billions. Psychiatrists who prescribed them by trials and errors. There is no diagnosis they recommend or use to determine what is the proper treatments. Brain scan should be a regular process that is used to treat brain illness, the same as people getting MRI or XRAY for bone\joint injuries.

    It is very much a nightmarish state of darkness and weight. This video really struck a cord with its descriptions. For me it's a heavy, suffocating, dark fog that makes every thought, activity, movement etc. feel like an impossible feat. Like trying to keep your head above water with 300 lbs of chains and weights strapped all over your body. The inability to focus mentally but also weirdly even visually. I'd find myself staring off into nothing for who knows how long, and getting terrible headaches from the eye strain of not blinking for long periods. Hypersomnia (as opposed to insomnia) is the symptom that has the most immediate effect on my day to day life. At some points I'm sleeping 16-18 hrs a day and even when I'm awake I only get up to use the bathroom or eat.
    I can't even bring myself to shower or comb my hair for weeks at a time. I used to take such pride in my hair and in this state I've had several occasions (on days with a modicum of improvement) where I have to spend hours trying to work out the matted hair at the back of my head from so much time spent laying down. After 5+ years of this nightmare I don't think I'm ever going to truly get better. I think about suicide constantly but can't even find the strength, energy, and motivation to end this.

      Sounds like to me that nazis have got a hold of you. They are spreading chemicals all over the world in an attempt to make us so sick that we die, not that death is for real.
      Your nightmarish state is caused by the way you think. You believe in death, so have given up. What is the use? you say. These nazis have been putting fluoride in the drinking water for many years to drug people. Fluoride is a toxic waste that keeps people in a zombie like state. Then they don't resist. Super large frequency towers are being built to control us. Chemtrails dry out the air. Fukushima was bombed on purpose by these nazis so that the radiation would make us sick and then kill us. These nazis are psychopaths that want to make lots of money on our sickness before we die.
      You are down to begin with because death is being marketed as being for real. Death makes these nazis a lot of money. Prisons are for profit just like wars and drugs. But our thoughts are stronger. You could see yourself as an eternal energy being able to overcome all these chemicals because we consist of 7 billion billion billion atoms, each one spinning and vibrating so super fast that death is not possible. We are constantly being created as eternal, powerful energy and light beings or holograms that chemicals can not hurt. But it takes imagery to make that true.
      See the book "Hands of Light" written by the physicist Barbara Brennan to find more details.

      Hi, I am called 63 on my birth certificate, but I know myself to be eternal energy.
      I was hated as a child, too. I hate being around sarcastic people that are aiming it at me. That is my PTSD. I am stressed about being on earth and the lack of help. Been anti social my whole life since the age of 8. Wasn't until my late 20's that I found the right books that say we are eternal energy beings. Then my wasteland of dread and guilt went away, mostly.
      One book is "Hands of Light" written by the NASA physicist Barbara Brennan.
      I found out that thoughts are imagery and we are holograms. That is quantum physics. Every thought is a picture that changes the body. We are chameleons that change constantly with these pictures. I can see little bumps come up on my skin when I get stressed now. I know the cause right away because I know what I am thinking is changing my body.
      I have healed myself several times really fast just by changing my thoughts. I have felt energy flow in to me and out of me in healing ways. There are many books that teach imagery as healer. We are perfect to begin with. Keep a picture of yourself as always perfect energy.

      It is hard if it is not exciting. Finding out you are spinning and pulsating as 7 billion billion billion atoms of light all at the same time should be real exciting. You now know something nobody else talks about that I know of. Each atom is electrical magnetic energy field vibrations. This is what physicists say. Light is the short term. We are immersed in and saturated with a unified field of electrical magnetic energy field vibrations. Without it, electricity and everything else would not exist. Without it, static electricity would not happen. This field is what people call God.
      This electricity is the mind of God. This God is a gestalt of energy, a holodeck so immense that from this dimension it would take LSD to see it. When we leave these bodies we pop out into a dimension that is more like a LSD trip. Some people have learned to do this on purpose. These are called OBEs. Out of body experiences. Nothing, no ideas, are stable like they are here.
      An immense focus is needed so that waves of light and energy form into what we are. We are the result of a tremendous focus that is kept by our souls. We are personalities of our souls, which really exist as huge beings of electrical magnetic energy field vibrations. Otherwise, where is the information coming from that these quarks bring as they burst forth spinning billions of times a second forming us? These quarks are actually tetrahadrons or triangles that spin real fast. And these triangles are like fractals that form us. So we fit together like puzzles.
      I have read all of this in books.

    This video gives me some hope again. Thanks for this and the work that is undertaken by Dr. Helen Mayberg. I try to be as transparent as possible with everyone around me cause I can't stand hiding and feel guilty even worthless all the time. As everyone says, no one who had such experiences will truly understand this constant state of hopeless and being emotionally dead. So with 95% of people I talk to, I still feel guilty that something's wrong with me... that I'm not "normal" and not strong as they are to simply think positive. BUT those 5% help me to feel "some sort of" Okay. To feel I'm accepted OR that my disease is accepted. If I wouldn't fight myself, again and again, to overcome and be transparent to everyone (even at or even more: especially at work), I would feel 100% worthless instead of only 95%. I highly encourage everyone suffering from depression (directly or indirectly) to not make a secret out of it. It helps you to better understand yourself and it helps to grow this little 5% through awareness and understanding and the need for help.

    Watching a lot of these talks/lectures on depression has resonated with me deeply. Especially coming out of the throes of depressive episodes but stumbling into one and not being able to get back up to surface, months and years of complete nothingness and monotony. I would always be able to get past those periods of immense apathy and agony but when I was 18 I fell into this never ending descent and for nearly several years it has exponentially gotten worse, festering, eating away at any remnants of a person and identity I had left. I’ve tried almost every medication, and am incompatible with ssris. It’s frustrating because you believe what you’re seeing and how your perceiving things to be the TRUTH that no one else sees, that it’s clarity and not the depression permeating and infiltrating your mind.

      read the book "Hands of Light" written by the physicist Barbara Brennan. She has proven that death is a lie and that we are holograms. Actually E=mc2 proved that. This has always been true, but is not taught in schools and hospitals because there are trillionaire bankers that are a mafia that want us sick and lost and depressed. You can find this information online in youtubes like "The Corporation" and "Murder by Injection" by Mullins. Mullins wrote a lot of books about the info he found out regarding the federal reserve. This is a private organization created by bankers in 1913 for the reason of constantly taking the money of the American people in the form of taxes and interests. When these bankers fail banks on purpose, they are hoping that people will then have to borrow money, which will make the bankers trillions of dollars on the interests paid. 9/11 was caused on purpose by these bankers so that they could incite the people to go to other countries to kill the people there and then to take their resources. When an incident like this is caused on purpose as entry into a war, then it is called a false flag. 9/11 and Pearl Harbor and the one that started Vietnam were all false flags. The bombing of Fukushima on purpose with HAARP was a false flag. Depressions and recessions are on purpose. These bankers are psychopathic murderers.
      I was severely abused and bullied as a child, so I know what harsh depression feels like. I was not able to change until I started reading books.

    This was a fantastically informative video! I think I'll be sending it to my employer as a the representation of how I see my depression. It's not like I think psychology and life balance etc don't play a role in any depression but I know in my case the onset was so sudden after a flare-up of an autoimmune disorder it left little doubt it was 'mostly' a biological/medical issue.
    That's why I'd like to point out pretty much the only statement I disagree with in this whole lecture.
    At 2:13 where she says "...when the brain fails to be able to adapt to circumstance to the situation; when it breaks."
    It's not like what she said is untrue, it more that that delivery doesn't help the current stigma (y'know while she's working on a golden treatment - but still).
    It would be like saying people get colds because their immune system breaks down...and even that isn't as bad because if there's one thing we're all supposed to have control over is our mind.

    I would just like to know WHERE are these treatments and HOW can a common person with Medicare possibly afford them? That's great that they've found them but people are continuing to die from horrible mental healthcare in the US. I have treatment resistant major clinical depressive disorder and there are no answers after decades of trial and error. It took almost the last 2 years for me to find a new team of doctors, who take my insurance and are affordable along with prescribing the medications I needed to alleviate SOME issues. I could have died 5 times over. When opportunities like this come along it seems it's only beneficial for the wealthy. Because I guarantee it's cash pay when it comes to these treatments. That's what becomes so frustrating. Unless you have money you just suffer or die. No matter how much you advocate for yourself, and believe me advocating for yourself during a major depressive episode is such a conundrum, but no matter how much you still hit brick walls regarding whats afffforable and avalable.

I found what she said about being fifty percent better ridiculous, as the scrappy bits of help you can get therapists always try to write you off as "better", a relative term where no change can be inflated. They are so desperate to say their worthless treatments, CBT or SSRI's or whatever, make the patient "better", so they can get rid of you and deny you, that they don't care if it is true or not. They have ways of extracting a non-denial by the patient that they feel "better", and most patients to some extent feel under pressure to say something nice about the therapist.

Yogurt as a gut remedy was out, as milk gave me severe depression. One day I just went to the doctor and told him I had a sinus infection. He gave me three courses of antibiotics. Antibiotics kill a lot of good bacteria, as well as bad bacteria. Turns out that it killed whatever bad bacteria was reacting to the proteins in these foods, causing inflammation.

I don't know how true it is, but as much as season changes can affect some depressed people, and some with other illnesses too, it kinda makes sense. also, the current state of things doesn't help much. we must be strong and keep fighting and living for ourselves as best as we can.

    Most depression starting with physically ill for a very long time. Struggling for body pain. Long going treatment and money spending with doubts when it is gonna end. I was at 50% better then become worse again. Sad part? Going through the negative experience so many times and knowing that you are having to go through again! No end. No matter how you have long for getting better. But nope.. no better. That is sad.

    My experience might help some of you. I think I suffered from depression since my teenage age, until i was almost 30. I t was an agony, I tried to kill myself twice. There was not a minute jn my ljfe I haven't thought of suicide. I almoat got anorexic. Also had agression issues. I started having all types of halucinations, it was terrifying.I had a lot of traumas that happened to me, which I talked about to a psychologist.Someone took me to a doctor one day, the meds made me worse at first it was an agony of 2 months, then I was a bit better. But now I know I was still in a really bad shape. They've changed meds for me and dosages a lot of times, I've switched through 5 psychiatrists. Today is about a year and a half that I haven't thought of suicide. Compared to every minute of my life before. I can function now, I actually feel almost normal. I take meds regurarly, when I don't-in a week it starts getring really bad. So I avoid that. They finally found what suits me, and they plan on lowering the dosages. I feel like I like lost my 20s...I was so damaged. But now, today, I feel good. I dont overthink, I function at home at work, with a partner. If I can do it and truat me I was so damaged, I think everyone or almost everyone can be helped. Takes time, lots od prescriptions, psychologist conversations, a lot of WILL TO GET BETTER. And money yes, I disnt have money but I managed, cauae health is most important. So , what Im saying, you CAN get better truat me,it took me 5years but it worked. I get dopamine and serotonin btw. I am not a happy shallow person now, I just am now. Whereas before I couldnt function properly for even a day. Will is most important, even when it wasnt working I tried something else. You cant stop trying cause if you dont feel better it just means they havent found a way that suits YOU.
    Jist push forward, you can actually lead a normal life.

      Keep holding on to God. No matter what may be trying to keep you down, keep looking up to God. He will always be your hand in helping you get back up. We serve God who can do all things. Romans 8:31 tells us, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” this means that no man, woman, boy or girl is a threat to the purpose God placed on the inside of you. This means that the Only way you experience defeat is when you surrender. In moments of worry and anxiety, we are called to bring our concerns before God in prayer. Instead of allowing anxiety to consume us, we can find peace and comfort in knowing that the Almighty God is attentive to our needs for He cares for us deeply. In the storms of life, God is our only hope. His faithfulness and His goodness are present Even during the darkest storm. we have a lot of growing up to do. we should continue to grow in our relationship with God, and there is no point where we can say we've "had enough" Jesus tells his followers not to worry about food, drink, clothing, or tomorrow, and instead to seek first God's kingdom and righteousness and He will give us everything we need. Give thanks and be appreciative of the small and big things that God is doing in your life. Doing that means that you are looking for God throughout your day. You’re looking for God in your situation. You’re looking for God in your struggles and your pains, and keeping your focus on God instead of focusing on all the bad that’s going on. It’s what God wants you to do. He wants you to keep your eyes on Him. for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. The reason why Jesus tells us not to be anxious is because the Father cares for us. He has your back and will help you through anything, All you have to do is Repent and have Faith. The Bible teaches that God's sovereignty is an essential aspect of who He is, that He has supreme authority and absolute power over all things. There is nothing that God is not in control of. Everything that happens, God either causes to happen or He allows it to happen. However, Everything God does is done in love. There is always some reason for it, and for those who love God and are called according to His purpose, He will work everything out for good. Ultimately, the enemies we face, are not people or objects. It is not our body, It is not physical enemy. We know we don't want to die because dying bodies always end up fighting to survive. Our battle is indeed spiritual, In each of those cases, We can choose to fight the wrong battles, or we can rest knowing God is fighting for us. We fight this war by daily putting on the whole armor of God, always praying, standing firm in the Word of God, and staying alert. We need to live each day guided by an eternal perspective. so rest in knowing that when you keep holding on, you will see that in your weakness, God will be your Strength.
      John 14:27
      "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

    Depression is a way to tell us or I should say that our « conscience » is telling us that we are not on the right path and that we are not fallowing our heart, we have to dig deep and deeper to find it! My conscience is waking me up every night at 2:am just to tell me that I drink a little to much and I didn’t do the things I should have done to make my life better. Try not to take medication so that you find what the meaning is good luck!

    I think the biggest problem is that our medical system doesn't work on the Spiritual part of our three part ( human-beings ). As science has found recently, our thoughts do change the agenda of test results. We are not just machines, a pint low on oil. I'm reminded that the Spirit can teach the Mind that will take care of the Body. Doctors shouldn't just shut down the Spiritual factor, just because they don't understand it yet. We know of millions of miracles that continue to happen each and every day worldwide. I respect your work and how important it truly is, but the spiritual factor need it's place in our medical system. Yes, a great number of people's depression dose vanish when the spiritual problems are solved mentally. There's also the true miracle storyline that are truly true, but I guess will likely leave that for another day...
    Great topic and thanks for sharing your work, It's just that important.

    I used to be highly intelligent and now I’m a complete moron because of severe depression and anxiety. I make careless mistakes and can hardly listen and retain information
    I can hardly sleep and when I do sleep I wake up constantly or am not able to fall back asleep which makes matters much worse. I average about 4 hours of very light sleep.
    To make matters worse, my managers at my workplace constantly insult me and talk down to
    me like the moron I am now. It bothers me because I know if I started to become happier and things “finally” started going my way in life, my brain would heal and I would prove to them that they in fact are the morons.
