Gratitude v. Depression -

November 11, 2025 / Mental Health / Comments Off

One of the greatest remedies for depression is gratitude. Usually, when we are depressed, we’re looking inwards. We may be stuck in a pity pot, feeling sorry for ourselves.

Looking outward at the many things in our lives that are amazing and wonderful can be helpful. Then, actually saying this to others or yourself through journaling brings these thoughts to life.

Although gratitude may not be the only remedy for depression, it can help.
