I feel largely exhausted due to depression but somehow I feel like that isn't real exhaustion. I hope this helps me understand what my brain is doing somehow.

Thank you for your comment. I’m not a clinician, but what you’re describing is a very common symptom of depression. I’m really sorry to hear you’re experiencing that. Some of the strategies I mention here may help, but I urge you to talk to a mental health professional who can help you develop a more individually tailored plan for your specific circumstances. Stay strong and don’t stop yourself from reaching out for help.

It is real exhaustion, you are chronically tired and therefore you should rest in order to Physically recover.

I’m no professional but make sure you’re exercising, eating GOOD healthy food, not junk food and try to avoid stimulants + alcohol. You will start to feel good!

@@kingdoggie5231 I never had a great diet, but I used to do martial arts 4 times a week, wasn't on stimulants till I was 19 and didn't drink till I was 18, but really started drinking more at 20. I had depression since I was 7. I wish it was so simple.

@@DrApocalyptus just make jokes out of everything. Make yourself laugh or smile. Force yourself to make jokes even if you’re terrible at them. The whole point of this exercise is to energise yourself. A single hit of that dopamine can be enough at times.

Your channel deserves sooooooo much. I come from a niche that follows Huberman and Diary of a CEO... Perhaps your KZbin algorithm is steaming up eheh. (and of course subscribed after watching 3 videos in a set)

I have wanted an answer to this question for a while. You answered it in and informed and interesting manner. I hope to look through the reference that you gave so thanks for that. I prefer just watching you talk over the stock videos and images, I found some of the videos distracting and it took away from the clarity of the idea. I think when I am watching you deliver the information it sinks in better then the videos. Regardless top quality information and great video.

I have noticed that individuals who take anti-depressants (SSRI's in particular) experience a lot of fatigue. Many of these individuals share that it's their depression that causes the fatigue. However, after what you have shared, perhaps the increased availability of serotonin is contributing to a form of fatigue induced by the SSRI's. Thoughts?

@senseofmindshow 6 ай бұрын

That’s a really interesting idea. It aligns with some research that seems to show an effect of “emotional blunting” that may come with SSRIs for some individuals. I wouldn’t doubt it, but I don’t have any evidence to say for sure one way or the other.

It all goes back to lack of sleep. I won't say that I have full-blown insomnia. Falling asleep initially isn't an issue, and I dream nightly, so I'm getting deep REM sleep. The problem is that I always sleep in shifts due to waking up to use the bathroom. Like clockwork, I'll sleep 3-4hrs, wake up to pee, spend an hour falling back asleep, and then eventually 2-3 more hrs. I'm technically getting 6-7hrs a night, but it feels like two naps as opposed to an actual night's sleep. I've tried multiple solutions of no food 3hrs before bed, no liquid 2-3hrs before bed, etc... But nothing helps.

I don’t see which part of the video was difficult to understand. The most niche words were the ones describing brain anatomy and neurotransmitters, but that should be expected in a neuroscience video…

Depends… who do you wanna reach? Collegue graduates or everyone? If someone claims to not understand there might be a simpler way do explain. I for one struggeled, mostly with the speed of facts. Perhaps i just need to give my brain a break tho… eat some food… 😅😂 Althogh i truly enjoyed the video. Insightful!
