The School of Greatness · The Real Reason Stress Is Hurting You | Kelly McGonigal · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

I mean, you can feel that way even when something is possible, right?

That, that it's part of how like, and sometimes it actually is true.

Like sometimes you really are in circumstances that,

can trigger a defeat response.

I think that's another reason why depression might exist, which case it's doing nothing for you.

And that's, I mean, it's worth knowing that depression can make your brain turn on you because the depression is not thinking about your wellbeing.

Yeah.

Well, here I will go to both of the science and

and my direct experience.

One of my big interests in life is helping people who find themselves in circumstances they would not have chosen for themselves.

And grief is a big one.

Or trauma.

So what the science says and what I have seen in people's lives and in my own life is if you're on a do it yourself path.

So first of all, let me say, obviously, you use whatever resources are available to you therapeutically and medically.

Now, that's not my role.

So I don't write prescriptions.

I don't do therapy.

So I'm not out there in the world sharing that with people, but obviously everything from antidepressants to new treatments like deep brain stimulation and a magnetic simulation of the brain, therapy, group therapy, one-on-one, all of that stuff, obviously use that.

And I believe in the power of sort of all of the evidence-based treatments.

Okay, but I don't know how to do it, so I'm not out there sharing it.
