i so you to in the country like to keep taking on the powers that be they risk everything john, don't dar activists, journalists and politicians living in exile. they were tortured. they live for their mission. what drives them? people need to know what is happening. there are ceilings, guardians of truth watch now on youtube. d. w documentary being in a good mood can make you feel like dancing. it also makes it easier to learn and it helps you accomplish more alone or in a team. we like being together with others, particularly with close friends at its root feeling good involves psychological well being, all the ways to achieve and what can you do to restore your inner balance when

everything feels out of kilter, mental health. this week's topic i'm in good shape. with young parents are always happy. so our babies, according to adds, at least, but anyone has had a child has seen plenty of other moments who it's a similar story with people on vacation. everyone beams in those holiday snapshots . but even minus speed bumps like getting lost on the way to the hotel can cause the movie to 2 social media. stars always seem to be in especially good spirits. inferences who are grumpy, don't have a lot of success, but had

a good saying should life be full of only good vibes, even in the midst of break ups crises or personal tragedy? communities on instagram, tick, tock and other social media insist on cheerfulness and positivity. but why this one, you actually share only the best part. so every one thing, some she has such a good life. she's never sad, is any power among vision. he kind of don't want to look at posts about negative stuff that or c sat examples. so you just want to always see how the influencers hang it out on the beach sloping cocktails and living the best life live. but is that good for us? psychotherapist emilio em hoff says it can be dangerous. social media marketing for my social media set, for example, always higher, faster, and more beautiful, better. that means there's a certain pressure, a t, i'm only allowed to show my most positive side. and in this dazzling world bath, anything negative is no longer allowed. and that in turn leads to ice lation at

some point or believing. i'm somehow alone with my negative feelings because everyone else is always in such a great mood. and that's the harmful thing in the long run. because i then question myself and think i'm different than everyone else i know. and then there's no question that people who can maintain an optimistic attitude are generally better off, but that becomes toxic when any negative feelings are instantly given short shrift . experts then speak of toxic positivity boxes that's events. a washcloth toxic sentences are, for example, pull yourself together. it's not so bad, it'll be ok. i had gone through this before's. in other words, sentences that don't take the other person seriously and they're suffering and leave them alone with it at having even negative feelings. make sense because they indicate that something is wrong and that we should take a look will side in the long run, repressing and blocking out negative feelings can lead to depression. germany's 1st

and only happy ologist, patrick vanka, has looked intensively at the topic of happiness and being happy. he also warns against trying to keep negative emotions at arms length. social media is happy and social media things up presented extremely positively and with lots of filters. well, everything on these platforms is always going great. everything's really nice. but it's mostly fake. mise, this is jeff. hey, i believe that a kind of naturalness is precisely what makes things likable. it's like out of us and when someone says this actually happened in austin, in the ellen house, we all learn most from what goes wrong. and i think social media experts will be well advised to also post the mistakes. sometimes of these athena most of course, but, but toxic positivity on social media just doesn't allow for that. so many refuse to accept the good vibes trend at face value and active liquidity. you can't lose sight of reality. even if you're optimistic about everything at the end of the day,

you have to cope with some stuff and then it doesn't matter whether you view everything positively. the truth catches up the reality couches up evaluated angle for that reason, i think a healthy mix of both ways is important. it's almost like you have to have mad stuff sometimes because only then can you really look forward to something good. and then man, if your mood isn't so good you so than it's okay that it's not good. a sneak goodies, montana he don't have cameras yourself or thoughts other scene to always only be positive or in a good mood. but how to find a middle ground between optimism and pessimism, between positive and negative feelings by accepting setbacks being able to change perspectives and not losing hope via as click it by. luckily once had a kind of happiness teacher named alfred bella bomb. it was and he said something beautiful. the greatest happiness is hidden in misfortune and day and few people look for it there. this, oh not s and happiness or balancing act and that's just part of lysine. he had

another beautiful saying was issued as the happiness is not a permanent sky towards exactly why it's important not to see everything in life through rose colored good vibes. only glasses sometimes being unhappy and feeling sad is just as much a part of a fulfilling life is happiness and optimism. do animals also feel emotions more and more research as a beginning to believe they do. in one species of raven, for example, served apparently comforting other beds after they've been defeated in fines. and rats will come to the aid of other rats if they're in desperate straits, provided they know one another or are related elephants can also react strongly when elephant cell close to die. but emotions and whether

animals have them is still the subject of behavioral research. with humans, the matter is clear. what's next. so is what causes our emotions and what consequences they have. for instance, being in a bad mood there are plenty of reasons to be in a bad mood, but it triggers very from person to person versus mcneish like what puts me in a bad mood because he's grouchy people. negative people mention been desperate to some bad weather. for example, mice mostly other people still has dress daily life school starting classes. racism does if she does on that, i can't change many things. i'd like to add on mr. vending, when things don't go the way they should, then i live and voice. my mood is left alone. i've had copasse is a psychologist who specializes in emotions. displaced alone is bad moods are more

likely a side effect in evolutionary terms. what's crucial our emotions which usually correspond to certain aspects, have moved in the pursuit and something happens and you need to react, and your mood is so to speak. a side effect of the machinery we need in order to have emotions and what's yawn so, so grief is sometimes very important, must be of the so as being angry. when comes the of the design, we must live with these negative emotions. and that can make his kind of prickly but bad moods often serve as a warning signal. so finding out what's behind a crushing feeling can be a learning experience. place dish to monitor a bad mood can be a signal that something's not working well. most of that can lead you to take a look and see if there might be a reason for it gaped something you can change us and then come, ah, we can't release happiness holman's nonstop. but even if we could,

would he be beneficial to be in a good mood all the time? it's had sake issues. so just it's a fact that being in a positive mood has a function which no longer works. if you're in a good mood all the time that somebody, for example, if you're striving for something specific as when you want to eat something, or if you want to have a nice social interaction with feel and then the expectation that it'll be positive is something that springs you on that was doesn't unstable. if this positive mood never diminished, you just sit on the sofa, be happy and do nothing like ma'am. so there really is something good about being in a bad mood, though it can take time to recognize that ah months my admission to malicious, it's a sometimes you want to concentrate on something and then a slightly negative mood can actually be beneficial. so we can feel that you can,

we can also scientifically prove that it has such a fast and selfish believing. disassociate effect, the question is, how much are and for how long on to be long. but feeling slightly melancholic, are nostalgic, that's something we actually like. and even seek out on the cl susan because that makes us more focused, self critical, and productive. so even bought moods have very good side. at 1st glance, it might seem like nothing more than a bad mood, but for an estimated 1000000000 suffer as world wide, it's a mental disorder, depression. and it's like how many more people are affected that we don't really know for sure. the best statistics we have indicate that there are an especially high number of cases in africa and also that more women than men suffer from it. many don't receive any hope. one big reason why is that in many places,

depression is not viewed as a serious illness, is depression or real illness. people who have not expedius depression or anything electrical mental health, they think that they'd be by making it up. what vinson, i think treatable with therapy and medication, but ah, it's a real thickness. but if you're having some sort of an anxiety, depression, it's very difficult to cope of it. even in antiquity, melancholy was already regarded as a sickness. at the beginning of the 20th century, german psychiatrist, immune criplin was probably the 1st person to use the term depression. to day experts agree. being sad is a normal reaction. it's difficult times, it's understandable, but usually status goes away with a little time. depression is different. antonia era, so this is a psychologist who spent 10 years researching depression and those most affected by it. we're talking about a mood disorder that can cause to be your symptoms that can affect how you feel,

how you think, how you handle the, the activities. and the medical community has certain diagnostic elements by which it establishes that it is a disorder for a diagnosis. today therapists consider how patients feel is there eating or sleeping habits are out of whack? and how will they get through the day when you decide why spend believe this is just all in the mind? it's not a real disease then, and then we are preventing people from receiving the treatment that they need. only certain types of people get depression. anybody can have it that needs to be normalized, just like any other physical. i something to some sort of issue with under present myself. so i know how difficult it is. patricia fonseca is the senior physician for

psychiatry and psychotherapy. she treats people with depression and has extensively studied the subject. in recent years, the spotlight is focused on lifestyle and chronic stress. and my mom always being available always online pressure to perform at work. always having to prove ourselves. those things are relevant because they have an impact on our stress levels and our sleep habits never had them, but it's not just a lifestyle sickness, like i am monahan of us victims. and there are also other factors who live including life events like ration syndrome, relationship stress breakup, or the loss of an important person. didn't mention amanda, come back with our childhood decide whether home arctic experiences or emotional neglect a lot to share foul in woodson elephant math less. you go beyond that. studies show that genes also play a role. but that doesn't mean there's

a depression gene factors that can bring on depression include chronic stress, traumatic life experiences, and genetics. antidepressants . bad for you. i think anti depressants can be addictive, but i'm not sure about it. it's just the myth that everybody knows. every be honest, i having that id, i think medic is, is what anxiety and i'm doing well and we really weren't my understanding. is that anything that he needed? notify someone that fully knows id content like a doctor or profession. i hope there may cause may harm yourself. many people are critical of the medications. some people even claim that antidepressants only benefit the pharmaceutical industry. and that's why it gets double edged sword, but not gazoomba seen the antidepressants, are really no more successful than placebos for mild depression. we're still on

there for you can see both life depressed soon. so we would try to treat mild depression, 3 psychotherapy and behavioral change behind in but emitter span on shiana. lambert with moderate severe depression and there was a clear effect compared to the placebo. ha, ha ha. implant cbo effect also antidepressants. don't work the same for everyone. so it can take a while to find the right ones, but can people help themselves? healthy lifestyle is a good way of preventing an accompanying your treatment and preventing relapse. and there is evidence for that. i would that then more to my than just work less eat healthier physical activities really important. the bottom line is antidepressants, on fat, per se, and a healthy lifestyle can increase their effectiveness as any other sickness. it's not about anything that's your own fault. it's just some something, doug,

some people have and it's treatable that says someone out there who's suffering from depression the thorn, be silent, i've ordered boe out. feel feel thin, seek help, big medication. ah, i'm more suitable and meadow at home when something isn't working. as it should, you can try to fix it if you can, but some problems are just too complex, then it's time to call a professional full help. it's the same with issues involving mental health. the problem is in many parts of the world, mental health professionals are few and far between. but if you're lucky enough to have a choice, do to see there are a few things to bear in mind. therapists people just like you and can therefore hold quite different views from a very convinced by that particular therapeutic approaches. if a client wants to deviate from that, a therapy can end unpleasantly. it's important for therapist to be able to adjust

to an individual situation and to carefully check whether a particular approach is the right fit. having a clear road map as essential that helps keep the therapy from drifting along and this lee. how should the course proceed? why is lot planned? are there maya stones? what are they? the plan should be discussed with the client, depending on the country therapies might be offered by mental health professionals with a range of titles among them, counselor, psychologist, oh, psychotherapists. but in many places, the field isn't strictly regulated, and at times there's no prescribed or uniform training. critics complain about this shortcoming. so when looking for therapist, the amount and direction of training when is received can be a central issue. as, as the question of whether they are allowed to prescribe. pharmaceuticals, approaches differ,

but the goal of therapy should always be to help clients achieve good mental health . there are many forms of therapy, some seek to draw out childhood memories or focus on dreams and the sub conscious practitioners. see those approaches is important ways to work through deeply. seated issues or traumatic experiences are these therapies are sometimes for instance, helpful and cases of depression. they involve a lot of talking, especially on the part of the client. then there's behavior therapy. the goal here is to unlearn, learned behavior. this can help people, for example, which syrians infinity or eating disorders, clients learn to confront their problems in concrete ways. for example, through role playing. whatever type of therapy is chosen, it should be scientifically recognized and should of course,

also help. but gut feeling place a central role. how does declined feel during and especially after a session? does the therapists seem tired? are they really involved? because all successful therapies have one thing in common to work. the patient 1st has to feel understood in the drive to maintain mental balance. there's also a lot you can do on your own. like pursuing a healthy lifestyle, enjoying pleasant company, i'm exercising regularly. relaxation is also important. there are lots of activities out there that are supposed to help you relax, but do they really they promise relaxation at the touch of a button ot i guarantee that this one is really going for it. it's kind of this feeling of pain and ah,

ana is experimenting with gadgets that are supposed to relax your muscles. meanwhile, others are looking to relax and let's say more holistic ways. antonia bent and sabina, all have high stress jobs, and nature could help them find ways to wind down. studies show that it can in one research project that monitored stress via paulson location. the scientists concluded that the greatest physical and psychological recovery takes place in natural settings, study leader, icon lender, and says to have the effect. nature should challenger senses in the, in the long, soft eye if we perceive a landscape a so challenging enough, then it also quickly grows boring. it just doesn't provoke any all with installing . ana is getting ready to have what promises to be a memorable experience on an acupressure mat as an ebay, as axtell acupressure matt has over 60000 pointed little plastic bins attached and
