Itโs Christmas time, the happiest time of the year - for most. However, the holidays can bring depression instead of joy for others. For those who suffer from depression, an empty table or the memories of experiencing traditions with a cherished loved one can hurt. How do we deal with these kinds of feelings? Dr. David Carreon offers some excellent advice. David is a psychiatrist and the author of The Opposite of Depression: What My Work with Suicidal Patients Has Taught Me about Life, Hope, and How to Flourish. He is also an expert in TMS: transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is a non-invasive and non-medication treatment for patients dealing with depression. He talks about cultivating healthy and happy habits to break free from depression and how to thrive in your mind, body, and soul.
