Transcript:
S- My wife made me an appointment with the doctor. He was helpful and referred me to Pam.
P- Steve was lucky to have the support of his family and friends. It’s difficult to get better on your own. It’s important to do normal things; exercise, socialise, go for a walk, meet a friend for a coffee.
H- And did Steve need medication?
S- No.
P- We decided to try with everything else first. Medication can be effective – anti-depressants aren’t the same these days as they used to be – but Steve got better without any. In fact it was something he felt quite strongly about.
S- I don’t even like taking an aspirin unless I really have to so I think I made a real effort to listen to Pam and do the things she suggested. I even started meditating!
H- Meditating?
P- Yes, it can really help. It calms the mind and helps to shut out the world’s distractions.
H- And how are you now, Steve?
S- I feel great. Better than I have for years.
