Coming To Terms With My Child's Struggle With Depression

[@gobbleguzzle]

Prashant’s honesty as an Asian parent is very refreshing!

[@MichelleGoh-hf7ir]

YES

[@yongsheng113]

not all

[@terrytsai3586]

I applaud these parents who were willing to examine themselves and make some changes to help their children. Particularly in the Asian community, this is very much a topic that's usually not talked out.

[@shiokinvest4663]

i like the father to make the effort taking course, take the initiative to apologize, lower the ego. love the thinking that he knows no external factor like medicine or therapist is the solution since the root cause is him, he makes the effort to resolve. he truly loves his daughter

No matter what age you are or what role you play, it takes courage and humility to recognise that you aren't always right, that you could do better as the person that you are. Mental health isn't just draining on the patients, it's also stress that presses down on their loved ones. But there is never a valid excuse to redirect one's stress and emotion onto the people around you. With a little more compassion, understanding and open-mindedness, we can find ways to build bridges and beacons across the void that is depression.

Listening is the key it would seem , allowing someone to express their feelings without fear or judgment , goes a long way in helping someone heal ...

I thank CNA for making this video. Honestly, more people need to see this. I am a person who went through Anxiety and Depression alone with little support from friends or family. I am just one of the lucky ones. As I am strong enough to endure my suicidal madness and other issues. I really do wish my family realized the things I went through and noticed the signs. It's true that depression is not obvious and victims of it will hide their pain through smiles and laughter. I really hope after people watch this video more children will be saved.

[@weitingfilms]

Hi phoenix, I’m glad u make it through your depression period. I was wondering if you are keen to share your story with me.

[@johntnguyen9917]

Consuming psilocybin mushrooms helped me deal with my depression and anxiety. Since I started taking them I have noticed clearer thinking and peaceful existence. Taking on anything life throws at me, it has really helped me.

While tripping make sure find a good mycologist who will teach you the right things you need to know

[@roarodneal3390]

sure!! he is the best mycologist i would recommend for you😁

[@annelin6376]

thanks to the parents for being so brave to share this with us :) it takes a lot of courage to examine our own parenting styles and to admit that there were times when we need to make improvements. your vulnerability is really refreshing! i hope ur children experience your love and dedication to them

[@shantiram4921]

A good beginning is to recognise we too as parents are pressured from all angle, it’s daunting task to understand depression but with open mind set and supportive care could provide better results for our youngsters to avoid or cope with depression. A good awareness program at the right time in Singapore. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕

[@yongsheng113]

at least the parents apologize, some parents think they did nothing wrong

[@thelimwilliam]

There is no one who is "normal" in this world, everyone is struggling with their own issues

[@yeledim296]

[@sereneanna4040]

🤣well said. Some overcame thru faith in God🙌🏻✝️😊

[@farihamohamedhilmy4700]

If only my dad could watch this video, he would understand what it’s like to have daughters who are suffering from mental health issues and how he could do something to stop the pain instead of ignoring it

[@small_fries7573]

No matter how much u feast, u will still be hungry. No matter how much u alcohol or soda u drink, u will still be thirsty. No matter how much money 💰💸🪙 u have, u will still want more. No matter how many men or women u slept with, u still want more. No matter how blessed u are, u still want more blessings. There's only 1 thing that can satisfy 😌 your soul. That means there's a way to go to heaven after you die & be saved from going to hell 🔥. You need to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior for your sins. No sinners can save himself. Do it before it is too late. Young people should also consider this also!

[@small_fries7573]

Would u like me to pray 4 you? 1. You are worthy. 2. You are a decent citizen. 3. God loves ❤️ you. 4. You are special. 5. You will do great things. ❤❤

[@sobeliever1638]

Good story. I love how it is showing Asian parents tryjng to do better to fight against cultural pressures. All the best to their kids.

[@cy3970]

the 90 mark one hits close to home

[@callista4990]

i always cried happily and envily seeing some kids have their parents supporting them from their depression rather than denying it

[@tanned06]

Being a perfectionist myself, depression has become part of life that I need to accept and deal with all the time. Meditation helps and a few coping and self-encouraging and negotiation skills. Thanks for this thoughtful video!

[@steventay5834]

We must love our child and give everything to them!!

[@johnkeleher5563]

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free,the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

[@annamason3087]

The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results

[@joachimlunares4871]

Mushroom completely turned my life around and my anxiety and panic attack disappeared and my personality changed into a much more generous loving person

Many parents don t accept the fact of their sons can suffer from depression and act roughly against them saying that these disease is a lazy behaviour, cause survival is more important. My sister commited suicide in 2012 after two failed marriages and suffered depression in the second marriage due to domestic violence. Now, it s my time to retire from these unfair world after suffering from depression and try to survive for being bullied by my own mom for not building a family and don t have competence to do it and evolve financially and professionally with 47 years old. I m just counting down for my D-DAY.

[@sobeliever1638]

Work hard to break thoese generational curses in your family.

[@mkaizen1756]

These curse will be over with my death cause i don t have children and my niece commited suicide too. There are more than 800.000 suicides every year according to WHO, so it s very sad but accepting the death is very peaceful when ur life is a hell.

[@kamariahkamis8356]

Please call any hotline that have someone to listen to your problem. You need help with this illness.

[@RubyFlamez]

Don't give up on life just yet, you seem like a very sincere person. Seek help if necessary, you can do this. Sending you well wishes, life will get better.

[@wongkengmun1103]

If u see this message hope you do not give up life n give it another chance to move on. You can be strong n happy wish the best for u

This documentary about depression is timely in the time of Covid~19 Global Pandemic , Unprecedented Natural Disasters , Supply~Chain Disruptions , the Communist Russia~Ukraine invasion & High Inflation! A lot of people developed Anxiety & Depression & we needed to deal with them Sensibly to Save Lives! 🕯

[@mindclarity]

This video brought tears to my eyes. Is there any chance this video can have Chinese captions? I would like to share it with my parents who doesn't like to talk heart to heart with me, who always shut me down whenever I express my views. I'm a single child and does not have anyone close to talk to. Thanks

[@shiokinvest4663]

I know it's hard to let go. but you can't force someone to change. You will be more miserable when you don't see the outcome. Learn self-love and self-care. if possible, leave that environment so you don't face it day in day out

[@mindclarity]

@@shiokinvest4663 I wish it was easy for me to just say fk it and leave the environment, but I can't. I'm the retirement plan for my parents and my dad is a lottery addict. It gives me immense pressure when he gambles whatever he earns and whatever I give him. He does not like it when I ask him to save the money. I find it difficult to talk some sense into him, so I thought at least he could watch this video in Chinese and understand what other parents are doing and what he's failing at.

[@shiokinvest4663]

I know it's hard. And every Chinese parents treat us like we are their retirement plan. But we don't own them the lifestyle they want. I believe as long as you provide for their basic needs would be good. Just like they provided for your basic needs when you were young. And save some for raining days just in case would be fine. You can only change your mindset to be happy.

[@hannahstella]

These are good parents 🥲

[@bchpls24]

are they tho? kids got depression from them in the first place. mostly from over achieving parents.

[@hannahstella]

@@bchpls24 So you want to spend your entire life blaming other? These parents have learned their mistakes and their children are willing to reconnect with them, that’s all that matters. At the end of the day, healing only begins when you shed the victim mentality.

[@hiraeanalis4230]

Watching this hoping that some time in the future I would get to experience this-even though I know that it will be quite far but hopes are still up

[@steventay5834]

Very sad. I let my daughter grows up happily. No need to stress her. But I myself struggling with depression because of work stress

[@ellagnoix2276]

For parents - sometimes our child/children just wants us to listen to them vent. They don't need us to fix anything. Ask them "Do you want me to listen or do you want me to give you some advice?" When they want to vent, anything you say will be considered as 'excuses' and not validate their feelings at the moment. It will only make the things worst. This is coming from a mom of a transgender son who is diagnosed with bipolar.

[@steventay5834]

Let your child grows up naturally. Mad mother

[@MahaRanti-rk7zm]

Still can't open my conditions to my family, while i already join mental health community and meet psychologist. I still don't want to become topic conversation between my family, or become new issue to my family. And burdening my mom especially

To apologise to your own children doesnt even need to lower your ego, if u think that way, you are not suitable to be a parent

[@yyysboy1]

Great video - it raises awareness. On a separate note, if its ok to ask here - just out of my curiosity - the mandarin speaking lady, is her accent the standard accent in Sg or is it more like taiwan influenced accent? As for the father, is his English not really sg accent (more like "modified" English accent)? Ive been to Sg, and lived there for some time, hence I feel a bit curious when i listened to them talking :)

the lady sounds more Taiwanese and the man sounds South Asian
