Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, invites expert guests - trained psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists - to join her on her psychology podcast.
She's on a mission to sift through all the information and misinformation that’s out there around our mental health to help create more self-awareness and understanding.
In this episode, Kimberley explores depression with clinical psychologist Dr Kevin Vento. It can be difficult to work out if you’re depressed or just low, blue, down, or plain sad. What are the symptoms of depression and what can you do to help yourself alongside diagnosis and treatment (or while you’re waiting to see someone)?
Please email complex@bbc.co.uk if there’s anything you would like Kimberley to explore. We might use what you tell us in the show, but we will do so anonymously. If you don’t want your email to be included in the podcast, then please remember to let us know.
