Relationships 2.0 With Dr. Michelle Skeen

My guest this week is Julie Fast, author of Getting It Done When You’re Depressed. Everyone knows that depression can lead to guilt, sadness, frustration, and in the case of 15-20% of people with depression, suicide. Because we live in a culture that rewards (and often worships) productivity, when a depressed person can’t meet the expectations of society, the depression becomes worse and a vicious cycle begins. The goal of Getting Things Done When You’re Depressed is to break this cycle. Readers will learn: •How to prepare yourself mentally for working while depressed •How to structure your environment so you can work more easily •How to work with others •How to prevent depression
