Stop talking about your 'mental health'
I published last week's post, The depression misconception, with some trepidation. In a society that has been steeped in the narrative of 'depression-as-mental-illness', labelling depression as 'failure feedback', and raising the possibility that it is actually a functional, adaptive response to significant failure, can come off as judgmental, victim-blaming, or just flat-out wrong.
As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated:
