In this insightful episode of Thrive with Grit, host Rameen Karggar is joined by co-host Danielle Gelleny—mental health therapist, psychology MSc holder, and soon-to-be Dr. Dani—to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in mental health: depression. Together, they explore how it differs from day-to-day sadness, why depression is so prevalent, and what risk factors may contribute to it—from trauma and pessimistic environments to sleep issues and perfectionist mindsets.
With warmth, expertise, and a touch of humor, Rameen and Dani break down practical strategies like building routines, exercising, managing stress, and using evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). They also dig into why mood is contagious, how social circles impact your mental health, and what to do when self-help just isn’t cutting it anymore.
✨ Feeling stuck? You're not alone—and recovery is possible. Learn how to get matched with the right therapist through Grit Psychology’s easy online tool and take that first step toward healing.
