I don't think where you could argue, you would make a successful argument that he has major depressive disorder. He's more of like a mild depression all the time. And because even in... Because you've been general, and just kind of like a general unsatisfaction with life and with the way that things are going. But then it's the argument of is he depressed, or is he experiencing grief? We don't usually give them a diagnosis of depression unless it's been an extended period of time. So I'm not comfortable like slapping him in the diagnosis.
In our final episode of Season 1 we discuss the life and trials of George Bailey and attempt to answer the question of whether "Wonderful" is a fair assessment. We debate whether George's symptoms are primarily based in depression or anxiety as well as debate the co-morbidity of depression, anxiety, and trauma. We detail the treatments available to help George as he faces his existential crisis. Tune in to find out more and Happy Holidays to all!
