Hope Through Depression Part 2 Breaking Bread Podcast

Hope exists. Depression is not a life sentence. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kathy Knochel and Ted Witzig Jr. chart the course for walking through depression to the other side.
Show notes:
There are different kinds of depression. Treatments can vary. However, the path through depression typically has three benchmarks. The first is changing behavior. The second is a shift in thinking. The third is an improved mood.
1.       Behavior activation:
·        Physical activity: moving the body.
·        Social interaction: engaging with people.
·        Meaningful activities: engage in small, doable things in a consistent manner to develop a sense of competency.
2.       Engage thinking through counseling:
·        Challenge negative self-talk through healthy truth based in Scripture.
·        Medicine (in some cases) can be beneficial in helping the mind think well and engage the therapeutic treatment.
3.       Positive mood shifts follow improved thinking.
