Course Description

Managing Depression is an engaging course that offers an abundance of ideas for taking personal control over the nasty symptoms of depression.  Focusing on self-help for mild to moderate depression, this online class identifies the various symptoms of depression, and takes a meaningful and sincere approach, primarily to alternative and self-help therapies.

While not excluding traditional and more conventional therapies--such as counseling and medical support--this course also encourages students to take steps to empower themselves to feel better as well as reviews holistic approaches toward the mind and body.  Taking responsibility for as much of the healing process as possible – even if it simply means making an appointment with a doctor – is the first step toward more confidence and self-esteem.  This class provides an uplifting, upbeat and realistic approach to depression which is intended to energize and encourage learners to face their problems head-on.

Lesson 1: What is Depression?

Have you (or people you know) gone through periods of being unable to feel or experience any joy or enthusiasm in daily living?

Lesson 2: Dispelling Myths

In earlier times, people who were depressed were often considered to be insane, mentally ill, or hysterical.

Lesson 3: Some Causes of Depression

One can be extremely intelligent with a very high IQ, but if the flow between the emotions and cognition is blocked, that person is likely to be highly ineffective and unhappy.

Lesson 4: New Ideas About Depression

Depression can linger like a dark cloud over you until you make the conscious decision to take some steps to break it up.

Lesson 5: Helping Ourselves

Begin to purposefully improve every aspect of your life which is within your control, and you will feel your moments becoming fuller and brighter.

Lesson 6: Let's Get Physical

Amazingly, one of the most effective new habits you can undertake when you are depressed is deep-breathing.

Lesson 7: Some Alternative Approaches

As we discussed earlier, the connection between mind and body has become common knowledge among thousands of medical practitioners and can no longer be dismissed as someone's wild philosophical belief.

Lesson 8: Nourish Your Whole Self!

Maybe your diet is not so bad when you feel good, or maybe you are one of the lucky people who maintains a healthy diet even when you are depressed.

Lesson 9: Smart Ideas for Depressed People

As humans, we tend to put our suffering in context with the rest of our lives; we consider our illness to be an intrinsic part of our identity.

Lesson 10: Counseling and Psychotherapy

Although this course offers many suggestions for self-help, you may feel the level of your depression requires professional help from a psychotherapist.

Lesson 11: Taking Control - Getting Motivated

What are some good reasons for taking control of your life and working toward healing your depression?
