Depression is one of the most urgent mental health challenges facing modern society. While scientists have generally assumed that the prognosis for well-being is poor among those with depression, Cornell-led research is now challenging this assumption: In national datasets, a substantial group of people who had a diagnosis of depression go on to report well-being, including lives rich with positive emotion, purpose, and meaning.
Join us for a wide-ranging conversation that explores the possibilities of life after depression with Jonathan Rottenberg, Professor in the Department of Psychology at Cornell University. He will share his research on mood disorders, his personal experience as a depressed person, and his new video series that discusses the challenges and opportunities of life after depression.
