Hey everybody, before we start the show, I want to make a couple disclaimers.

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general,

and some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content, but also respect and recognize your limitations.

So please use your best judgment. I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely but feel free to feel it

out check out the episode and just see what happens if you need to skip that's okay

but you know feel free to give it a shot first I also need to say that while I am a

psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist.

This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help.

So with those said let's go ahead and get into the show. All All California and the author of the Hardcore Self-Help Book Series.

And today I am doing another deep dive episode.

I know I did one last time, but I had a really good topic that came up and this week I just

wasn't really feeling the question and answer.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the questions I've been getting great questions,

but the question and answer format takes a little bit more time for me to kind of prepare and make sure I have a good answer and all of that.

And this is a topic that I will talk about today that I've already been thinking about a bit so it worked out nicely to include this as a podcast.

So what I'm going to talk about today is what can you do when

you have depression and it doesn't seem to respond to treatment. No matter what you do, nothing's nothing's working you know you've tried the

things that you're supposed to try and it's just not working out so we're

going to talk about that today before that just a couple announcements one

is if you're not a part of the Hardcore Health Help Facebook

group yet check it out. Just go to Facebook and search for Hardcore Self Help in
