Adverbs of manner

Recently, I was looking around the Internet

when I found a video telling me "You are not depressed!" "Stop it!"

with an angry looking guy in the thumbnail

who has more recently started making content which is motivating and inspiring

You've probably seen some of the more successful stuff on Facebook

His spoken word videos have gone freakin' crazy viral

Now at first glance, it looks like he's spreading a good message

but underneath the surface there are some really fundamental things he's doing

and watching the video behind the angry thumbnail pushed me over the edge

so today I'm calling out Prince EA on several things I think he's doing wrong

okay so it´s obvious clickbait and that's understandable

But the problem I have is within the content

I'm so mad I'm seriously going to go off on this guy in the comments

See it looks like you're mixing up this wikipedia page with this one

"depressed" can be a mood like sadness or frustration

but "depressed" can also refer to major depressive

a mental disorder people are genetically predisposed to

I'll let this professor from Stanford University explain it

It's a biochemical disorder with a genetic component

Seriously well worth watching the full thing

If you have to tell someone something is life changing

then it probably isn't that life changing

if you treat your emotions and thoughts as if you were a passive observer

you're more likely to be able to live with them

this is at the core of a type of scientifically backed therapy

I actually e-mailed one of the people who created the therapy

Steven Hayes sent me a bunch of studies with evidence of it being effective

but there are a lot of people who are stuck with brains that do not let their sadness go

and this is why this part of his video is so problematic

For those people who have the mental disorder

it's like saying to someone in the middle of a heart attack

And judging from the comments it's not just me who felt strongly about this

In fact one of his fans uploaded a response video which really explained this well

I would have thrown the fucking thing at you

it's a shift in perception that's caused by

What you're saying now I think almost even errs on the side of being a little bit dangerous for folks
[hard to hear, someone please check]

But I thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt

maybe he just messed up once with this topic

until I found another video where he mentions the same concept

See this world we live in it creates depression

There's always this little voice between the lines there of "Come on, pull yourself together"

This video is going to encourage that voice in depressed people

everyone else has a come and go but not me

That's the kind of thing that could contribute to the statisticky reference at the start of this video

depression will be the leading cause of death
