No Comments »

When most of us think of depression, we often think of major depressive disorder (MDD), where depression symptoms occur in episodes ranging from weeks to months. However, did you know that depression can persist for longer periods of time, where symptoms last over the course of two or more years without any relief at all? Chronic depression is also known as persistent depressive disorder or PDD, and is defined by a continuous depressed mood that occurs for at least two years. In today’s video, we will address the signs and symptoms of chronic depression.

Being in Canada, BC, we couldn’t help but previously participate in one of RYU’s ONE More REP for Mental Health challenge back in Nov. Unfortunately, we were late to editing and posting this video, but hopefully, you guys could support the initiative.

We did 67 Kettle Bell Swing Reps for #RYUMoreRep #MentalHealth #RYU_apparel

Not in affiliation with RYU, or SteveNash. The founder simply supports their clothing and works out at the gym with his trainer Dan.
