As someone who suffers with severe depression my therapist recommended me this video and so far everything is spot on me and hopefully I can use this to overcome my demons once and for all so I won’t end up back in my flunk again. My goal/intentions is to get better for myself, my family and my relationship. My goal is to get better and happier again without being consumed by negativity and this depressive demon I been fighting for years

8 years ago I got severely depressed and healed after about 2 years. Then for 6 years I thought I wasn’t depressed when really I was just way less depressed than I was at first. I’ve been living in perpetual depression for years and I think this is my solution. Feels like it’s gonna be a lot of work but worth it

As an ABA therapist AND someone who suffers depression, it seems like something is missing. It's as if the antecedent, as well as the necessity of understanding how to assess motivational and reinforcing behaviors, is not addressed? I've been stuck in a cycle with the knowledge of behaviorla activation as a therapy, and I still can't get up and brush my teeth or do simple tasks not simply because of lack of motivation, but because the other behavior I'm engaging in (laying in bed, zoning out on TV, ruminating on pain) is far more reinforcing. It's comfortable. It's easy. Absolutely it adds to more depression, but in the moment it feels far more reinforcing than getting up and doing anything. Perhaps there's further depth in the study of this therapy, but anecdotally, try adding making a schedule to the already 1200 things I'm avoiding and see how fast this therapy loses steam. It would be more effective, perhaps, if folks were given some tools or understanding of the momentary punishment (behaviorally speaking) of a seemingly reinforcing behavior. A thought exercise modeled after behavioral chaining, perhaps? Maybe it's my training to want to shape bx in a systemic way. I dunno.

This method works for me much better than the cognitive approach, because I am not fully aware of the content of my thoughts and their effect on how I feel. But if I set myself small straightforward tasks with visible results it makes me feel a lot better
