Alistair Campbell explores an interesting perspective on depression.
Alastair is best known for his role as Tony Blair’s formidable and often contentious spin doctor, but, away from the public eye, he has been dogged by crippling bouts of depression for most of his life. Some days, just getting out of bed is too hard. Therapy and anti-depressant medication is helping him keep his head above water, but is that really the best he can hope for?
Encouraged by his family, Alastair sets out on a journey to explore if cutting edge science can offer him - and the millions of people like him - the hope of one day living depression-free. As he tries to understand his depression better, he also reflects on key events in his life and asks if they could have had a negative effect on his mind.

Yes, he did some bad things, but that doesn’t give you the right to make a mockery of his mental health. He’s made himself vulnerable to public exposure and that should be respected
Just saw your post about a man who helped start a war and then very obviously hid behind a ‘poor me’ smokescreen. Yup, a lot of idiots fall for that though.

@@rodwilkins1614as ofc mental health is a thing long idiot fall for 😂😂😂😂 your ignorance is aplenty
The jar is a great model, the stacking of protective factors is interesting and so true. Also I want every piece of silver jewellery that lady was wearing.
I don’t have a jar. I have buckets.
There is a root cause that is often the missing link and very rarely talked about, please check out the Andrew Cutler's work. Please read the success stories on the the site that comes up when you google it and read the article read the article by Rebecca Lee about Andy Cutler on the Weston Price web.

Lol haha lmao lmfao jajajaja xixixixi wkwkwkwk
Thank you Alistair for your experience! It means a lot! God bless 💝
Lifestyle choices affect your risk of depression
I think that is debatable. Genetics’ disposition varies greatly, and can be major or minor. Obviously though, both play a part.
Hearing about your journey is fascinating, sad, joyous, informative, and so very brave of you. It seems you are now tuned in to yourself more closely and I love that you don’t beat yourself up for a moment of downward spiralling. I once saw you on a commemorative bench outside my then place of work on Leith Walk. I nodded and smiled a greeting, as did you in return, I so wish I had sat down and introduced myself. Maybe next time!
Depression is so real :(
Agree.
You should check out the Andrew Cutler's work, it is often missed as the root cause.

If I have said it once than I have said it a hundred times...."I envy psychopaths because they feel nothing"
Im screwed whichever way you view the jar
They should show his documentary to Iraqis. It should help them cope with the utter destruction, millions of death, and decades of violence Alistair and his buddies caused.
I think it depends on the person and sometimes the situation too, some people are easily effected by their environment and the world and the things they see and hear and other people not as much kind of relates to like different personality types or temperaments stuff like that
Thank you
I think it’s complicated and nuanced. Why are some people affected more? It’s partly temperament but I would think it’s also how they are able to get in with others, social support and life experience. It’s also how they react to the situation I think. If they take in the situation but have no outlet, it affects them worse.
Interesting concept using the analogy of a jar, and it does raise up the ever present debate about nature vs nurture. I do think personally that your environment is the more dominant influence but again its still up for debate
nature means genes here. nuture is more your enviroment
I put extensions on my jar and the counsellor said it wasn't the correct course. If anything, the negativity only filled the jar to the bands put on it. So I can't believe that for a second.

I think it’s more of an articulation of the factors rather than the solution
I can relate… since I knew I’m an LGBT, I’ve lived my life with anxiety and deep sadness
People today are mean, judgemental, selfish, liars. That's depressing to me
True. Even the nicest person is actually the devil.

Alistair: (of his jar diagram): "It looks actually faintly obscene" lol - my thoughts too ! Add to the extended jar tho... soh & the ability to laugh at ones self.
Here is the *video series playlist:* th-cam.com/play/PL5A4nPQbUF8Ce1nYjyhIvVRuCqPrm3z91.html *Enjoy! :)*
I suffer from depression and anxiety, I'm in the army don't know what to do as don't want it on my medical records...
You need motivation and just deeply understand the cause of depression
I've been bullied, rejected and outcasted
I don't know you, but I feel love for you. I hope you can find some comfort being cozy and safe in your bed. 🖤
I am so sorry
@@LaVictoireRosee this comment made me smile 😊
@@siriolsen7805 thanks
Congrats, you're now part of the largest club that has ever existed.
I'm confused as to when they say genetics has a part in the cause of depression, the only thing I can think of is someone being self conscious or what not. Genetics due to environmental factors is easy to assess
(Fyi I haven't watched the whole video my internet's slow af rn)
Parts of me I was born with make me depressed.
@@mrr4624 that's just unfortunate to know but thanks for telling me. Depression is one of the lowest points of life

I have a genetic issues with anxiety disorders, it's been in the family for a long time.
For example, OCD is very common in my extended family.
Depression like anxiety are at least partially physiological, ie there is something fundamentally different about how our chemicals/system functions compared to different families.
With more intense issues like psychopathy you can actually see differences in their brain structures, less so for other disorders.
The jar analogy is great
Your genetic results and environmental stress still cause the depression, it doesnt go away and since you know it wont go away you are trying to do positive isolations to cover it, to ignore it for a limited time. You ll always know if you stop fighting, if you stop running from it, it will come up stronger. What if one day you feel exhausted and what if you feel like you cant go on more, you cant fight it. I dont know i think its pointless i dont want to walk with this load on me till i stop, knowing this doesnt pay-off, no future in it.
Cant even get out of bed? Someone please help?!!!
Feel like that right now! So tired all the time

Ps. the advise they give there i belive will help you feel better right away. You need to start supporting your body with the "core four" vit c, e, zinc and magnesium. You can take vit c 1gm every few hours now until you feel better. Also Alka seltzer gold, ginger (in any form, tea etc.) and 100 mcg selenium can help right away. Adrenal cortex (like the one from Thorne) can also help a great deal by supporting your adrenals when your body is under stress. And there is a lot of other helpful advise that will be even more specific to your case by the veterans of the group, so please join and post your situation there. If you have any questions, please let me know. There is also a depression file in the group that I cannot share here, but it has a lot of info on what you can take further to help you feel better. One is lithium orotate.
@@siriolsen7805 your comments are very helpful
You want the cold, hard, truth? You're most likely fucked. It's nearly impossible to live and function in a world where most people love working and their idiotic hobbies.
How can you compete with people who love that which is mediocre? It's a 16 ton burden for you and a mere feather for them.
I can get the idea of a person being depressed in a bad situation and also a good situation.... Best way describe it you can be with loads of people and feel alone.... Strengthen the mind and focus on what comes first is best advice and with people it's always a hit or a miss can't win them all.....in society there ain't no end to bullshit 😅

Genes load the gun, the enviroment pulls the trigger, the environment leads to the expression of these genes. If you had a full breakdown of your genome, you’d see which genes increase your risk the most for a given mental illness, the brain is an organ, so of course genetics will impact its function, just like genes influence your risk for kidney disease or other illnesses. Once you have this full breakdown of genes, you can target the genes which are predisposing you to mental illness, for example the TPH2 gene is responsible for synthesising seretonin in the brain, a mutation in this gene causes less seretonin signalling, thus less plasticity in the brain, a good way to bypass this gene would be to take extended release 5HTP or probiotics for gut health.
has this aired already ?

Too increase the jar those are all just thongs that make you feel good. To summarize it lol
Alistair Campbell gives me depression.
Okay lol funny
I would really recommend reading about Andrew Cutler's work, it is often an underlying issue, and very rarely talked bout.

Blimey Alistair that's a lot of lids
I am sorry he has depression, I suffer from it myself. What I cannot get away from is, when he was Labour's campaign director he had a much deserved reputation as a bully and was very aggressive. He treated people like shit. He is not apologetic that Malcom Tucker was based upon him, in fact admits it with a smile. Quite terrifying. So my question is, how many people have suffered mental trauma or depression directly as a result of him?

Campbell obviously finds it difficult to live with himself, given all of his lies to the British public under Tony Blair's Labour Govmt. But rather than admit to the terrible things which he knows he's done, he's conveniently rebranded these crimes as 'Depression'. Clearly though, he'll never be absolved of these issues, not while he's still the 'Master of Spin'. He's still at it and at this point deserves all he gets. No honesty, no healing - and I have no pity.
This is nothing more than a man with a guilty conscience who cannot live with himself. His actions, his problem.
I would be depressed if everything i talk about is riduculed . But look on the bright side, not many people get paid well, for talking crap
What does the jar do,another stupid idea,so you have extra rings are they helping u in life.36 years of living with depression,the only one that can beat it not beat handle it is yourself.I heard the closet thing put in the closet in your mind and its an endless closet so all your thought,idea and everything else goes in the closet,bit they dont tell you how to keep it in there,i asked that question was told that i was the one keep closet doors close.i could keep on but not worth the time.

Your nafs is your biggest enemy. The best way to achieve this is to remember Allah and to do dhkir of uwais al-qarni. Allah makes it easy to struggle with your nafs. You can find out the details on veyselkarane . com
Alistair do you think that all the parents of the 500,000 kids that died in Iraq after you spun the lies to facilitate bombing them are depressed??

I think depression is genetic or based on a specific personality type I don’t know what depression feels like therefore I don’t know what it is & I honestly don’t want to . . . ! we all have human emotions that we can understand or feel like we know what it feels like to 1 extent or another I think 1 can be immune to a particular emotion either completely or for the most part like I don’t believe I truly can be made to feel the emotion of sadness personally as it applies to my person but I know what it feels like & I can feel sad for someone else . . . . ! I know I feel a certain way or certain ways & have certain ways about me but um Not Even clear or Even accurate On my feel in some ways considering the circumstance - I wouldn’t even kno if specific feelings I have is valid due to circumstance But believe Innately in the know that Genetics & or personality type is linked to depression I think much can be learned unlearned etc . . . . ! depression I innately believe is more related to the sensitive not understanding with low self esteems or even unintentional Natural jealous people or low self esteems leading to being Natuarally envious & I’m sensitive in an understanding way through sensing & feeling others & sensitive to what’s Great or even Good but feel immune to bad or understanding of or to it - sensitive affectionate silly minded not necEssarily practical minded loving kind sweet good innocent nice or mean but fair or realistic & androgynous or feminine but depends or varies -Very fem is prone to depression & I believe even full/ big breasted females or maybe even over weight depending small breathes females are more athletic right minded or w/e r likely but also realistic Not a naturally angry person understanding maybe fair angers learned & only way could ever feel guilt is if I did something wrong that I Know & feel is wrong Naturally I will feel bad Naturally & will say something regardless if forgiven or not - not for me Necessarily but because I was wrong & for the other & cause I kno I’m free an nothing can hold me back can’t be made to feel guilty for some I can’t feel or 1 be made to feel I think psychology is based on a lot depends & on the person & has acceptions is not true If not an accurate science . . . psychology even science these days says a lot of thing that could possibly sound right but is not true accurate etc & science & psychology doesn’t apply the same for Everyone or is a 1 size fit all psychology & science is also a lie & doesn’t kno Everything or specifically anyone . . . ! & Amazing how God does & he can prove to you more accuracies through signs he gives through anything he uses specifically his word the Bible to speak to u personally or speak to any circumstance or situation & anything surrounding all that is or what has to do with you . . . . . . ! which validates the accuracies that he knows & understands Everything & Everyone of us specifically he knows Exactly how to & what he’s Getting out to Each & Every person according to what he wants us to know . . . to show us jus how much he knows understands & is fair Enough to assure he disperses to us . . . . ! wow I could never stop being in awe of Jehovah Amazinggggggg ^ __ ^ Makes You want to say a prayer of Thanks Just for his Amazingness . . . !
Pretty sure the only reason he has depression is that he is Alastair Campbell anyone would be if they were him.
The guilt of a very bad man. This isn't genuine depression, but rather a man with guilt written all over him. The only time he declared 'mental health issues' was when he started losing political control. He was only ever in politics to WIN, and now as it turns out, he assumes the label of 'Depression'. I don't feel sorry for someone whose terminally guilt-ridden. That's his own fault. Nobody made him into the self-seeking, revolting 'spin-doctor' that he was when power was his.
He chose that himself and he's still lying. There's no prescription for guilt.
What a terrible individual.
It's not genes it's trauma
Both
Its interesting that he didn't think of God and religion to extend his jar.
The jar analogy is such reductioness garbage. We are going to look back at psychology and mental health practices 200 years from now and realize how absolutely ignorant and we were. We literally have no idea how consciousness works, barely understand how our brain's work and yet we sit here and say these things with absolutely certainty. The depression I'm facing now has nothing to do with circumstances, it has nothing to do with exercise, social circumstances, nutrition or anything. Not that my situation is common by any means, but I took 1 dose of magic mushrooms and in one moment it changed me from being the happiest, joyous person who loved me outside, worked out everyday ect into a person who begs to die everyday from horrifying depression, anxiety and feeling completed seperated from reality. No doctors, drugs, therapy, etc have done anything to help..it did not "unlock" some hidden mental health condition. I had perfect conditions for experience, etc..the point is, we have no clue what is happening in our brains and why people end up with their mental health problems. The DSM is not science, we look at symptoms and hear people explain symptoms and then slap a made up label on something that is much more complicated than we have any idea about. No tests, no hard data. We live in the dark ages.
Having you giving your views and spinning lies on television depresses me Campbell .

100% environment in my opinion
@dodibenabba525
why is environment your opinion on what causes mental illness ?
@ciarandevaney385 because when you realise that there are groups of narcissists/demons/witches DELIBERATELY baiting you with blame shifting and gaslighting, reactive abuse etc you're told even by doctors that it's you, but when you remove yourself from toxic individuals all of a sudden you're healing.
There's a plethora of studies, including twin studies, that show the impact of heritability on depression and other disorders. Perhaps it's time to revise your opinion
@@nickyconnolly1380 all studies that deny the spiritual realm as most medicinal facilities are run by luciferian Jesuit/freemasons much like your education system. I won't be revising anything, especially when I've seen two demons and felt three.
Perhaps this odious individual could get the treatment he needs by buying a one way ticket to Switzerland
it's called a conscience!! go get yourself another drink dear.
