A Journey with Depression: From Hundreds of Counseling Sessions to Hope | POD. WAITING ROOM #S2 | EP. 26 Welcome back to the Waiting Room! In this episode, we discuss depression—not just from a clinical perspective, but also from a social and cultural perspective. What really happens when someone experiences depression? What's the difference between ordinary sadness and clinical depression? And why do so many people still find it difficult to admit they're not okay?
