Hi! I'm Tim Box and I'm Mind Coach. I work with clients every day to help them control anxiety and overcome depression. This video is about some of the most commonly held misconceptions surrounding depression, why they aren't actually true, and how believing them might have been holding us back from and preventing us from recovering. #depression #mentalhealth #mythbusting

There are so many myths, misconceptions and misunderstandings about depression it’s borderline scary.
And in many cases these beliefs are not just held by the average person in the street, but often also by those that suffer with depression and even medical professionals.
In this video I’m going to address the most commonly held misconceptions about depression and explain why relegating these ideas to the category of outdated myth can actually help us move on from and even overcome our depression.
