Naomi Judd | Dr. Oz| 2018 #naomijudd

In her memoir, River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope, country music star Naomi Judd opens up about her mental health struggles and her battle with addiction. Judd credits spending time with her family for helping her through her severe depression. One of her strategies for improving her family relationships is the list of rules that she, her husband Larry Strickland, and her daughters Wynonna and Ashley drafted together. She shares the rules in the hopes that they can be beneficial for other families as well.

…

The Judd Family Powwow Rules

1. No interrupting.
2. No shouting.
3. Each of us must realize we have our own realities.
4. Everyone gets as much time as they need to express themselves completely.
5. Everyone should be prepared with our thoughts and solutions, so time isn't wasted.
6. Stop and think before you speak so that you talk to the person as if he or she were a friend instead of a relative.
7. Everyone needs to remember that these are just issues. Our commitment to communicating is the bottom line to making sure the family endures.

Naomi said, " someone's listening", I'm listening because I've felt like Naomi many times. I wish she could have beat this 🙏❤️

This was a wonderful interview. It strikes me as so tragic and ironic that Naomi had so much great advice for others but in the end she was unable to help herself. She was such an amazing and inspirational woman..what a tremendous loss for everyone.

You can tell shes still struggling. But trying desperately to help others. ❤

I’m 53 and in a high stress, sales like profession that requires me to be “on” all the time. Smiling, outgoing, energetic, happy! But nights and weekends when I’m not working I easily fall into the black eternal pits of depression and it’s awful. As Naomi said, I’ve had periods of time when I could barely get out of bed to eat and go to the bathroom, much less take a shower or brush my teeth. Unless you have experienced it, you have no idea what it’s like.

I know what it's like to have a mom with mental illness.Its real tough.You wants to help so badly, and you cannot change their circumstance .You can only hold them and love them.Its really sad...I miss my mom every day.

[KatherineGray-cz]

I'm listening, , I too suffer from panic attacks and depression

[GregoryAdams-ki]

I was depressed when I was in highschool. Depression is no joke I was in darkness and lonely. I had no hope. Thank God I woke up one day and it was gone just like that.

❤ Precious Naomi❣️ I wish that somebody would investigate the medication‘s she was taking for depression because many of them, warn that they do cause suicidal tendencies. Naomi is a creative brilliant woman, she is not mentally ill. It is Spiritual warfare. Love ❤️ you forever Naomi! ❤❤❤❤

You are an 😇 Angel.
I love you Momma Judd.

She really seemed lovely during her better times. So heartbreaking she couldn’t beat that horrible disease. I’ve dealt with it most of my life.
