Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Alice’s doctor diagnosed her with depression, and she was prescribed an antidepressant. She began to feel better, until she totaled her new car in an accident. She felt that she had narrowly escaped death, even though she had walked away with just a few bruises.

#2

Depression is a reaction to a tragedy or a reversal in life. It can be triggered by losses, humiliations, and defeats that leave us feeling trapped by our circumstances.

#3

Depression is a huge burden affecting millions today, and it is becoming more common in Western countries. It can be triggered by the smallest of things, and can be difficult to treat.

#4

The first episode of major depression typically occurs in the mid-20s, and a substantial proportion of people experience a first full episode in late childhood or adolescence. Ten million people in the United States are taking prescription antidepressants.

#5

When we become deeply unhappy or depressed, an avalanche of feelings, thoughts, physical sensations, and behaviors comes into play. The huge emotional upheaval that can come from experiencing loss, separation, rejection, or any reversal that brings a sense of humiliation or defeat is normal.

#6

When we are down, we may feel impatient, at the end of our rope with many of the people in our lives. We may be more prone than usual to angry outbursts.

#7

Depression is defined as a persistent feeling of sadness and low self-esteem, which can lead to thoughts of suicide. It is typically diagnosed when someone experiences four or more of the symptoms listed above, and they are continuously over a two-week period.

#8

The A-B-C model of emotions is critical to understand. The A represents the facts of the situation, what a video camera would record. The B is the interpretation we give to a situation, which is often taken as fact. The C is our reaction: our emotions, body sensations, and behavior.

#9

When we feel low, we are more likely to pick out and elaborate on the most negative interpretation. When we’re depressed, these thoughts seem like the unassailable truth. They can trap us, turning a small sadness into a tangled web of brooding preoccupation.

#10

I feel like I’m up against the world. I’m no good. Why can’t I ever succeed. No one understands me. I’ve let people down. I don’t think I can go on. I wish I were a better person.

#11

We can’t control our moods, but we can control our thoughts, and they can affect our mood. Unhappiness itself is not the problem, but it is the harshly negative views of ourselves that can be triggered by unhappy moods that can entangle us and lead to depression.

#12

Depression affects the body, as demonstrated by the symptoms of major depressive disorder presented earlier. It rapidly leads to dysregulation of our eating habits, sleep, and energy levels. We may not feel like eating, which can eventually result in severe and unhealthy weight loss.

#13

We are all constantly sending and receiving signals with our bodies. These signals are extremely important, as they help us understand our own emotions and the emotions of others. If we struggle with depression, we may feel a strong aversion to any signals that our body is putting out.

#14

When we are down, we may be advised to soldier on or just get over it by well-meaning people. This thinking is infinitely transportable to any situation. We may end up believing that any stress or difficulty we experience is our fault, and that we should fix it ourselves.

#15

Depression makes us behave differently, and our behavior can also feed depression. We may be convinced we’re no good or unworthy, but we’re still trying to assert control over our lives, which only leads to more depression.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

It’s not our fault that we get depressed. We feel bad, and before we know it, we’ve been pulled down into the spiral, and no amount of struggle will get us out. Understanding that it is a certain mental pattern that gets us stuck opens the door to an alternative way of dealing with emotion: making a radical shift to a different mode of mind.

#2

Our emotions are vital messengers. They are signals that tell us what to do to survive and even thrive. For the most part, our emotional reactions are temporary. They have to be, since if we were constantly reacting to everything around us, we would be unable to react to anything.

#3

We all experience sadness from time to time. But what makes depression different is how our minds react to that sadness. We can become so focused on trying to understand our sadness that we end up making it worse.

#4

When we react to our negative emotions with aversion, we are essentially treating them as enemies to be overcome, eradicated, and defeated. We get into trouble, because the unhappiness we are feeling now triggers old, unhelpful patterns of thinking from the past.

#5

The context in which a memory is recalled is extremely important. If you visit a place that you haven’t been to in many years, and take in the smells and sounds, your memory of that time may come back to you, not just memories, but also feelings.

#6

When we are in a negative mood, our emotions are not just sadness, but are colored by feelings of deficiency or inadequacy. We may not be aware that these are memories from the past that are evoking the feeling.

#7

When we are unhappy, we are often forced to focus on our deficiencies and what we can do about them. But in reality, we should be focusing on more positive topics and approaches. This is how we continue to make ourselves unhappy.
