- Short Description:
- This dialogue explores depression through the lens of social context, weaving stories of marriages strained by untreated depression, workplaces eroded by distraction, and communities strengthened by connection. The conversation shows how cognitive rigidity, isolation, and overreliance on medication can worsen outcomes, while group dialogue, experiential learning, and supportive networks open new paths. Participants hear how neuroscience, social psychology, and lived experience all point to the power of relationships in shaping recovery.
