Ep #112: Having a Child with Depression

In this episode, I explore four things I've learned as the mother of someone with depression. I hope this episode is useful even if your child has a different mental health issue, or if the person you love with depression is not your child. I focus on ways of thinking about mental health that prioritize the human-to-human relationship with our loved one.

In this episode:

❤️ The importance of being curious about how other people think and experience the world

❤️ Why believing in someone else's future is the best gift -- especially when that person has depression

❤️ How to plan for O.P.O. (other people's opinions -- you know they're coming!)

❤️ Why people with mental health challenges can feel dehumanized and the importance of keeping relationship and humanity at the center of your awareness.
