Ep. 010 - Depression Awareness Month w/ Jeremy Lansing, LCSW

WE’RE BACK and we're kicking off our return episode with something special: October is Depression Awareness Month, and in today’s episode we're chatting with Jeremy Lansing, licensed therapist and a representative of the Santa Cruz Health Services Agency. 

We'll learn about the differences between depression and anxiety, how to recognize the signs of each, and how resources such as simply calling 9-8-8 or going to 988lifeline.org are always there at the ready to help. 

We'll also talk in length about how mental health issues were somewhat stigmatized in the past - and still in the present, for some communities - and the positive steps that therapists, families and friends have taken over the decades to help people become aware and deal with these issues.
