NEW Depression Type EXPOSED!

The description of "There's a New Kind of Depression" explores how modern social and digital environments, particularly social media, contribute to a unique form of depression. It highlights five key factors: basing self-worth on others' opinions, escaping real-life problems through distractions, pressure to appear perfect, feeling lonely despite social interactions, and developing harmful habits like constant comparison and seeking validation. These patterns negatively impact mood, sleep, and overall mental health. The video emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, building better coping strategies, and practicing gratitude to improve self-esteem and find a healthier balance in life.

I have learned and adapted to being alone, so I am at a point where I am more comfortable being isolated. It feels safer than constant rejection and disappointment.

I appreciate this video. I’ve noticed this pattern for some time now, and decided it was in my best interest to close all my social media accounts. It’s been hard feeling out of the loop, so to speak, but I do notice improvement in how I feel about myself.

I’ve been struggling with this for the past few months! I really needed this today! Thank you

I'm 40 years old and I'm so deep in this right now and it's cazy how accurate you are. I've been like this since I was a kid. All I've done is distract myself from so much and now I don't know who I am, and never have, I don't know what I want to do with my life because I can't find anything that really interests me. I've tried a lot of things to get rid of this feeling but nothing has worked. Plus bpd also

Reminding myself to be thankful everyday for things has rewired my ENTIRE brain. I've convinced myself that I'm "lucky" and nothing bad every really happens to me. This is very untrue lol. But having this mindset helps me deal with problems with so much more ease!

[dashabukreyeva]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. You are phenomenal at explaining all of this. Thank you 🙏

[katreena]

We didn't evolve to pay attention to 8 billion peoples problems. Spending time offline and in reality is self-care 🤗

[lindaweedmark]

I loved it when you said "super walking turtle" 💜🐢💜

[Itsmeyagirl]

I love the gratitude notes on the mirror

[jpgolias]

Very good video. My wife and I enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work. Grateful for time watching your channel. Not cheesy

[thereisnosanctuary]

I've never been so alive as right now. I hope I have a previously undocumented depression type. What a time to be alive! Even though I hate living.

[andreak]

I do the gratitude thing for over 2 years now. I call it "positive thought"
It's a really good thing to do. ❤

Dr Fox, do you have any research pointing to this? I totally believe it's true, it just so happens that I am writing on the topic and I would love to have some references. If you read this, mucvh appreciated!

Off topic, but what steps would you recommend I take if I suspect I have discouraged/quiet BPD? I’m in my 20s. All the symptoms of qBPD hit home, but I feel like no one considers BPD because I don’t do anything reckless, lash out, etc. I’m reserved and mousy, but every day is a hellish emotional rollercoaster. You just can’t see. It’s difficult to convince people to entertain the diagnosis when there’s no external proof of your emotional turmoil. With quiet BPD, seems like a lot of folks have to reach a crisis point (e.g., suicide attempt) to get a diagnosis.

[mariavargiolu]

What if you understand and believe all these concepts already for some time but are still unable to even want to make any changes to the point you are reaching the limit of what you can endure?

[attheranch]

This is off-topic, but if you like sci-fi, you might like the show Resident Alien. It’s pretty funny.
