Depression is one of the most urgent mental health challenges facing modern society. While scientists have generally assumed that the prognosis for well-being is poor among those with depression, new research is now challenging this assumption: In national datasets, a substantial group of people who had a diagnosis of depression go on to report high levels of psychological well-being, including lives rich with positive emotion, purpose, and meaning.
With this research as a backdrop, this webinar explores the possibilities of life after depression with Jonathan Rottenberg, Professor in the Department of Psychology at Cornell University. Dr. Rottenberg shares his research on mood disorders, the challenges and opportunities of living with depression, as well as his personal experience as a depressed person.
