Greetings!

I was asked by the good people at Psyched in SF to write an article for their blog at the Huffington Post, so I thought I take a stab at summarizing what I think about depression and its healing.  So far as I can tell, it's all in there (although I'm more than happy to get feedback about what you think is left out).

My great wish in this life is that we get a more comprehensive and integrated understanding of depression, a "thick and rich" model of what it is and how to heal from it, so this article is my initial attempt to address that wish.  I hope you find it useful.
 
Best wishes,

Marty

"What I've Learned from Depression (so far)"  

Here is the link to this article at the Huffington Post. 

In it, I pose a sequence of 2 non-negotiable principles, and 10 unavoidable realities of depression and its cure.  I'm shooting here for a distilled and (relatively for me) pithy condensation of the necessary orientations and practices to cure depression.  It's all drawn from my years of working (personally, and with patients) with depression, and not primarily from theory.  In other words, its more observational and descriptive, rather than theoretical.  I hope you find it useful.

About Marty

I am a San Francisco psychotherapist who helps individuals struggling with anxiety and depression to not only manage these  "wild moods," but eventually learn how to overcome them.  I work comprehensively with mental, emotional, bodily, and spiritual dimensions of anxiety and depression, all of which are necessary to overcome the chronic quality of anxiety and depression.
