I have been suffering with depression, panic attacks and anxiety for the majority of my life. I was not diagnosed with panic attacks until I was about 25 yrs of age. Since then i have been on medication for depression and anxiety.
I missed this webinar. Can anybody tell me that what exactly was shared in this webinar? What were the treatments for depression? Is there any medicine for it or some exercises are recommended by the presenter? I read some depression quotes http://depressionquotes.info and I feel that it can be treated with communication and exercises rather than medicine. In my opinion reading motivational quotes or books, good communication and meditation is the best solution to remove the depression. But still I want to listen from others also. Please share your ideas.
