alright alright so yeah Morgan Adams just released a video and it was her and
her brother Ryland making some pizza for the first time so we're going to be
talking about the person overcoming depression because she started her video
by talking about this so this is what I've learned in my time of studying so
if you go to my channel you'll notice that the last time that I posted a video
was three weeks ago I made a list for valid reasons why symptoms can vary from
mild to severe and can include feeling sad or having a depressed mood loss of
interest or pleasures in activities once enjoyed changes in appetite sleeping too
much loss of energy feeling worthless or guilty difficulty thinking concentrating
or making decisions and symptoms must last for at least three weeks for a
diagnosis of depression so welcome back so I'm gonna come
but I'm gonna talk about how what Morgan's doing in this video with Ryland
there's actually some science behind how this can actually help you overcome
depression but before I move forward I do want to toss in the disclaimer like
when I talk about these subjects about neuroscience and you know improving
different neurotransmitters like you know dopamine serotonin endorphins and
things like that like if you are struggling with depression go out get
help talk to your doctor like this is not always a replacement for medications
like I personally take an antidepressant anti-anxiety medication called lexapro
all right typically medications are to get you to a baseline so some of these
other things work alright so I would recommend you talking to your doctor
talking to a psychiatrist psychologist whoever it is and maybe get on some
antidepressants if it's something that you're struggling with I'm not a doctor
that's just the medication that I'm on but go out try your own thing I did do
some videos about my experience with medications not only lexapro but prozac
as well so if you want to check those out go find them alright but yeah
anyways let's jump into the neuroscience of depression how this thing works
alright so people who are struggling with depression now there is typically a
chemical imbalance all right what scientists discovered though there's not
as much of a chemical imbalance as many people think there is but a lot of
people who are struggling with depression or not creating the right
neurotransmitters and this eventually happens especially if you're isolating a
lot which is a terrible terrible terrible thing to do so the first thing
I want to talk about which isn't so much science-based is more personal
experience base is what Morgan does in this video with Ryland is they try
cooking for the first time and this is the first tip I want to give you go find
a hobby find a new hobby please for the love of God please do this when I first
got sober six and a half years ago I was just like depressed as hell and this is
this is something very common with people who just get sober like your
brain is not creating dopamine because it was relying on substances for
dopamine anyways I was extremely depressed when I got clean and one of
the things I struggled with most of my life is that I didn't even know who I
was one of the reasons you know people are so depressed or even anxious is
because they don't know who they are they don't know what they like they
don't know what they don't like you know all these other things so what I started
I just started experimenting with everything I get so many comments where
people like I don't know what I like to do I don't know what I like to do try
everything like for me like I just tried doing stuff I started hanging out my
friends trying to get to in their new hobbies one of my roommates he was you
know a musician so I went out and found my guitar on Craigslist for like 50
bucks have him start teaching me to play your talk I didn't really pick it up you
know so I stopped doing that but then like my grandma was over and she was
knitting a beanie I'm like I like being these maybe I like knitting so I had to
teach me how to knit a beanie she did that I started knitting beanies all
right so like I just found things that I liked I was interested in and knitting
by the way can be an extremely extremely relaxing hobby to pick up all right one
of my friends Stephanie from the channel its crochet o'clock she actually did a
collab with me a while back about studies that show how knitting and
crocheting can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety so go check that
video I'm going to get a chance but yeah you guys like especially because my
primary demographic it's like 18 to like mid-30s like you're still young go try
stuff do new things see what you like alright one of the symptoms of
depression is not finding a pleasure in things that you used to find pleasure in
maybe you've grown and there's something new that you need to find that will
start making you interested again and making you happy all right and some of
this you know might be like hiking or going outdoors or whatever it is find a
hobby please so a lot of what I'm gonna be
sharing with you is from one of my favorite books about depression and
neuroscience which is called upward spiral by dr. Alex cord he specializes
in brain and depression type studies alright so get this book I'll link it
down in the description below get my book too but anyways so one of the
issues with depression which also leads to anxiety is isolation
alright so Morgan is living by herself if you didn't see a while back Ryland
and Shane Dawson actually had more you move into the other place that they had
alright so what happens is when you get lonely and one of the reasons this is
called upward spiral is because you can go into a downward spiral
right so when you start isolating like you start getting a bunch of negative
thoughts you start ruminating and you also can start getting anxiety I talked
about this in other videos about how based on evolutionary psychology we're
not meant to isolate alright but one of the things that your brain starts doing
is it starts getting feelings of rejection okay this is because of a lot
of the stories that our brain creates now one of the issues of with rejection
is when you feel rejected it actually triggers the pain centers of your brand
so feeling rejected can actually be painful so one of the really cool
studies that they did was they had people in this experiment play a game
right it was like a computer game where you pass the ball with two other people
now what the subjects didn't know was that the two other people were actually
just computers but they told the people that these were real people playing the
game with them right so what they did was they hooked them all up two scans
and stuff like that because they wanted to see what the brain would do so
everybody's passing the ball passing the ball passing the ball but then the two
computer players just start passing the ball back and forth alright so then the
subject started feeling rejected which then triggered pain centers of the brain
isn't that crazy so rejection can actually be painful
alright now what the goal is with part of overcoming depression is to spark up
neurotransmitters such as endorphins endorphins or a natural pain reliever
all right they also can help increase feelings of
pleasure so they've done a bunch of other studies one of them was with an
ice bucket and this is why it's so important that violet and Morgan are
doing this baking together cooking a pizza together alright as humans we are
meant to be connected with others some of you have heard me say like if you are
isolating stop doing it even if you're just going to a coffee shop and reading
a book go do that you will start to feel better
naturally alright but anyways with this ice bucket experiment that they did they
had people put their hand in a bucket of us alright and leave it in there
obviously you know after you keep your hand in a bucket of ice it's kind of
holding but what they found was is when you put a friend or a family member
next to them why they have their hand in a bucket of ice the pain actually
started to reduce in the person all right not only did they see the pain
centers of the brain start to show less activity but people also self-reported
less pain here's the crazy thing y'all ready for the crazy thing not only did
it work when a friend or a family member was right next to him it worked when
they put a complete stranger next to them as well so think about that so what
I'm telling you to go out and just be around people and put isolated so damn
much it's because it will actually start to make you feel better all of my
subscribers out there who struggle with things like chronic pain quit isolating
alright find a support group hang out with friends hang out with family
members alright this starts to make you feel better you start to feel more
connected so as I was watching this video of Ryland and Morgan Adams have
seen them have fun having a good time like it seemed like that was legitimate
happiness coming from Morgan because she has been isolating so long so doing this
activity with Ryland Adams was actually helping her out now now I wanted to do
most of this video about the good things that Morgan was doing hanging out with
Ryland and all that but I'm gonna show some tough love to Morgan as well as
Ryland Adams maybe Shane Dawson if he sees this - but one of the things that
I'll suggest knowing this information I get a lot of people who ask me are the
fun with depression what can I do what can I do what can I do hang out with
them alright there are so many benefits to just having people around you alright
having people check in on you there are so many benefits that I know it can be
difficult for you know dealing with somebody who struggle with depression
because they can start to you know sometimes you'll start to feel down - I
guess maybe they don't want to go out or maybe this or maybe yeah way I used to
have to have my friends physically drag me out with them I'd be like no I'm just
gonna sit home and they're like no dude you're coming with us you see what I
mean so be that person for your friend okay there are so many benefits to
having that type of support if this is a friend if this is a family member
hang out with them have conversations talk to him on the phone set up attacks
see how they're doing now when it comes to Morgan Morgan
specifically all right I had some issue with the beginning of this video because
she was reading off the symptoms of depression on her phone and she's like
yep that's me never self diagnosed people never self
diagnosed even when you're watching my videos never ever ever ever self
diagnosed it is the worst thing that you could do I had some people comment and
say you know what if you don't have the resources to get help
yeah all right like what I'll say this is like the best thing you could do is
identify with symptoms I would say don't diagnose yourself but if you can
identify with symptoms of depression like Morgan Adams was doing alright
start working on things that's what my videos are for my videos are more for
providing you know useful tips whether they're science-based or personal
experience based that can help you start managing certain symptoms but you're not
Morgan Adams all right Morgan Adams makes Bank all right even though she's
not making that many videos that girl makes some money there is absolutely no
reason in hell that this girl should not be seeing a professional to get
diagnosed and get the help that she needs all right so although like there
were all these tips I'll give you an everything like like something that I've
noticed in some videos is that you know it it's it's very like it's very brutal
when you see people who don't have the resources like I just said so somebody
like Morgan Adams like whenever I talk about these big youtubers they need to
be talking about going to therapy one of the few youtubers who I saw mention that
was Liza Kochi all right so if Morgan Adams was my
friend this is the tough love for Ryland and Shane as well like if Morgan was my
friend like girl go see a doctor go book a therapist appointment go book an
appointment with a psychologist you have money go do it you know what I mean so
this can be very beneficial if you're watching this same thing for you go to
your doctor talk to your doctor maybe they can recommend a therapist for you
if you haven't shown us talk to your insurance provider see who they can
recommend in your network if you have friends who are in therapy talk to them
see who they recommend for therapy alright um I just made a video about
better help online therapy and it is a service that I use my therapist is legit
