This podcast is the narrated version of my article Causes of Depression at Different Life Stages.
Depression is a ‘disease of civilization’ and a curse of modern living. Here are some of the common life events that pose a risk of depression, and the reasons why it might happen.
In this episode I talk about:
- We live in depressing times
- Please (don’t) pass it on
- No one chooses depression
- Depression isn’t solely an event-driven phenomenon
- Childhood changes
- Teenage transitions
- Adulthood anxieties
- Parenting panic
- Middle-age milestones
- Old age and retirement
- It’s not what we experience, it’s how we experience it
