0:00.0	And hello to you and welcome to the Richard Nichols podcast, the Personal Development
0:08.5	podcast series that's here to help inspire, educate and motivate you to be the best you
0:15.4	can be. I'm psychotherapist Richard Nichols and this is episode 163.
0:23.7	It's titled Dealing with Depression and if you're ready, we'll start the show.
0:31.6	Now then, today's episode is prompted from multiple emails that I've received over the years asking for help with depression.
0:42.0	And it's something that I've put off and put off and put off because, well, to spend a quarter of an hour listening to me talking about depression could be, well, it could be quite depressing,
0:55.2	isn't it really, for everybody, even if they're not really normally depressed.
0:59.3	So although I talk, I guess, in some of my podcast episodes, a little about depression in some way,

1:10.9	So, trigger warning, you know, if depression is something that you find a difficult topic
1:17.5	for whatever reason, then listen to as little of this as you want.

1:24.5	It's absolutely fine.
1:26.0	Your life is your own.

1:34.8	about all these things. But I need to make something quite clear from the start here.
1:40.8	Treatment for depression isn't like buying a scarf one size does not fit all one person's experience
1:49.3	isn't going to be the same as someone else's anyone else's now sure there are going to be some
1:55.6	similarities there are going to be some things in common from one patient to the, but to listen to this episode and think that you come close to understanding everyone's depression wouldn't be fair.
2:06.8	If you have a friend or family member with depression, what I hope this will do for you is help you to realize that there are no rules as such on how to help them.
2:18.9	I'm afraid you have to work that out for yourselves.
