Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. I'm not sure where I heard it, but there's a saying out there that goes,

Before I was enlightened, I used to be depressed.

Now that I'm enlightened, I'm still depressed, but it's not the same.

We all may not be aware of it, but there are people out there that are diagnosed with clinical depression or anxiety or borderline

personality disorder or narcissism, there's a lot of different things out there that people

struggle with. And though many of them are actively

doing things to improve their lives, it's still hard, very hard. Now some people out

there believe that this depression, this psychological struggle is something

they're born with. They have a genetic predisposition towards and there's really nothing

they can do about those genetics.

And other people don't agree with that statement.

But nonetheless, there are lots of people who struggle with depression,

with things like sadness, that there isn't much they can do about

or at least do much about very easily.

For those of us listening to the happiness podcast,

we may implement the changes that I suggest here and find that our lives

are greatly improved.

Others may find that it's still hard, the depression, the anxiety, the fears are still there, even when they are implementing

these changes.

And in today's podcast, I want to address people who do struggle with more clinically biologically

prone depression or sadness or anxiety. These are things that people struggle with, that they do a lot of things to improve upon.

Sometimes they take medication, sometimes they get into therapy, sometimes they are involved with support groups.
