Mental illness has presented us all with a very tough challenge.
00:05
But in my love-hate relationship with the illness,
00:09
has taught me so much
00:12
to be patient for one,
00:14
that you are not alone.
00:30
What advice would you give to a depressed person?
00:38
Of course, you have to listen to the depressed person
00:41
because it is important that they can tell
00:45
all the sufferings that they feel inside them.
00:48
There is a real moral suffering,
00:50
so listening and understanding this suffering is important.
00:53
But you should not listen to it to the point of adhering to your vision of the world.
00:58
A depressed person thinks that she will not heal,
01:01
that it's screwed up, that it's her fault,
01:04
or the fault of I don't know what.
01:06
She has a vision of the world that is a little toxic for herself
01:10
and it is important not to absorb this vision of the world.
01:14
So we listen, we support, we encourage,
01:17
we show that we are here,
01:19
but we do not let ourselves be sucked into depression.
01:22
What advice would you give to a depressed person?
01:26
Do not attack the person by saying,
01:30
move, shake yourself.
01:32
She can't.
01:33
If she is depressed, she has a hard time moving
01:35
or she can do it a little bit,
01:37
then everything will break quickly.
01:39
But still, without shaking her,
01:43
it is important to stimulate her
01:45
because we know that one of the ways to help depressed people
01:48
is to offer them to move,
01:51
but to accompany them.
01:53
It is to tell them that in the end,
01:55
between an hour spent on the couch watching videos or screens
02:00
and an hour walking in the forest,
02:03
well, in the first case, they aggravate their depression
02:06
and in the second case, they improve it.
02:12
The problem that depressed people have
02:14
when they are offered to accompany them in pleasant activities,
02:18
since that's what they have to do,
02:21
to go out, to move, to go to the cinema,
02:23
the problem they're going to have is that it won't please them.
02:26
And so they're going to tell you,
02:28
yeah, but I don't feel better after doing it.
02:31
And it's true in the short term,
02:33
but in the long term, repeating these efforts will help them.
02:36
And that's what we have to tell them.
02:38
We have to tell them,
02:39
we're not doing this to make you feel better
02:41
with a magic wand,
02:42
we're doing this so you don't keep going down
02:46
and lock yourself up against your will,
02:49
obviously, in this vicious circle of depression,
02:52
since there is a vicious circle in depression.
02:56
The less I do it, the more I devalue myself
02:59
and the more it depresses me to be unable to do anything,
03:02
the more it depresses me,
03:04
the less I want to do things,
03:06
I'm demotivated, I think it's no use.
03:09
So the entourage can help the depressed person
03:13
to interrupt, to break this vicious circle
03:16
because she's the only one who has trouble.
