![How I Got out of My Depression | Jonathan Schoenmaker [Depression Ep 1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n4-y8hDvSYM/mqdefault.jpg "How I Got out of My Depression | Jonathan Schoenmaker [Depression Ep 1]
Depression is a significant global health concern. Its a common mental health issue that many people experience in their lifetime. However, like many mental health topics, it still carries a stigma, and for many, its a challenge to talk openly about it.
At Inner Path Seekers, we want to dedicate some videos to the topic of depression, inviting several people who have struggled with it and overcome it to share their experiences. We hope their stories will provide valuable insights to anyone—possibly you—who is struggling with depression.
In this video, Jonathan Schoenmaker, who delivered a TEDx Talk in 2019 titled How I Overcame Depression by Just Sitting Around, shares how he managed to overcome depression.
