Most people have reasonable, mea sured, moderate thoughts. And while there are many variations on this theme, these thoughts occur on a bell curve with most people being in the meaty part of the curve.Those with major depressive disorder (ma jor depression), however, often have very extreme thoughts and their thought processes often exist on the very far ends of the bell curve. This can make understanding how a person with major depression acts v ery challenging as these actions are driven by thought processes the average person doesn't experience. While these thoughts may seem “c razy” at first, it's important to realize that these thoughts are si mply an extreme part of the human experience that do fall along a con tinuum that is experienced by everyone. Understanding these thought p rocesses is the first step in understanding why a person with major d epression does what he or she does and how you can help a person with major depression deal with his or her own illness either from a perso nal or professional perspective. This knowledge will breed a deeper u nderstanding of the experience of this serious mental illness and incr ease compassion towards those facing it. That's where this webinar c omes in. This webinar aims to give attendees a look into the brain of a person with major depressive disorder. Attendees will learn importa nt facts about depression. The attendee will also hear about general thought processes present in major depression as well as specific cog nitive distortions such as mental filtering and labeling and how they appear in those with major depression.
