(02:58):
anything from advice to math, and I hope to make this podcast
both informative and engaging. Wow, that was a pretty good
intro, Brad. I like that.
So we wanted to talk about Bradley and I are going to dive
into the topic of depression today, sleeping versus
depression. And we want to we're going to
(03:23):
unravel some, you know, truths behind how you can tell if you
are really that you need to knowbecause a lot of people out
there like don't really know, you know, realize they're
forming into depression when they, you know, are tired or
(03:52):
they're sleeping, they're just in depression.
It's a bitch to get out of. It is such a beast to get out
of. It's like, I don't know, it's
it's like up there with childbirth.
I would have to say, Brad, what is your, what are the statistics
or what are some, you know, you know, numbers out there as far
as the depression rate? According.
(04:16):
To the World Health Organization, about 5% of adults
worldwide experience depression in the US, it's roughly one in
six people at some point in their life depression can be
triggered or worsened by chronicsleep issues, so it's crucial to
distinguish between just being tired and actual we're.
(04:43):
Talking about Brad. Brad's given informal
information. Mary Bushwacker is the best cook
on earth. She was just in the She was in
that damn kitchen again. Did you finish your beef?
Stroke it off. It is stroke it.
Offing it's stroke it. Offing it's stroke it.
Offing Stroke it off and it's stroke it to the left.
(05:05):
Stroke it to the right. Anyways, it is, I'm just waiting
for the noodles to get noodly. Oh, OK.
It's almost done. Nice, nice it.
Sounds like there's cooking up astorm.
If you've got any tips or recipes, I'd love to hear them.
(05:26):
Wow. Are there any particular aspects
of the sleep versus depression topic you want to dive into
more? Wow, grads, keeper of the point.
So when's the last time you weredepressed, Bushwalker?
I have not been depressed ever since I had weight loss surgery
and I stopped taking antidepressants.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the antidepressants.
Yeah, those, I mean the antidepressants that are
(05:48):
supposed to be the like, what release of depression actually
can cause depression? I mean, and they cause weight
gain. That's.
The problem it's using, yeah. That weight.
Just. Packs on and then and then you
get depressed even more 'cause you're on an antidepressant and
then you gain weight and then you're depressed again.
So it's like not even a yeah, right.
(06:09):
And it took away it took away sex drives too.
I mean, don't even think about having sex because when you're
on antidepressants, sex with a fat person.
I mean, I mean, there's there's there's a fetish out there for
yeah, I've heard that, yeah, there's the fat girl fetish in.
In my mind, I'll always be that fat girl, no matter how like.
Right. Even now I'll go to the store.
I'm like that's enough for big and versus size 6.
(06:32):
So I'm like, Nah, it's still. Yeah, it's, it's in your head.
I mean, I, I had a eating disorder and, you know, growing
up and Step 2. And so I too was also, it's
still in my head too. When I look in the mirror, I
still see, you know, like I don't it's like a fatty, you
know, not all the time, but like, you know, it's gotten
better over the years, but it the thing that will never like
(06:52):
leave your brain. It's like, I mean, we need to
get hypnotized or something when?
They're. Trying to you?
Did you tried hypnotizing if? You're a weak minded person.
Forget about it. Really.
Oh yeah, I mean. I mean, if you're weak minded,
yeah you could be hypnotized, but if you were strong willed,
you can't. Wow, I.
Was like Nah. Wait, didn't make you fall
(07:19):
asleep? This shit you wouldn't pretended
to like, walk off Like what I just told.
I just felt bad for the hypnotist.
(07:47):
I didn't want them to like, think that it wasn't.
(08:07):
Trying different methods to address them.
Hypnosis can definitely be hit or miss depending on the person.
It's unfortunate when things don't work out as hoped.
Have you found anything that hasbeen effective for you in in
managing these issues or improving yourself image?
No, that's what we're talking about, you know, depression, you
know, we're talking about depression because, you know,
(08:29):
life is just, you know, filled with all these curveballs of,
you know, called, you know, depression, yeah, called life.
And then you you basically, you know, are forced to deal with
this shit. And nobody would give you a
manual, you know, that says like, hey, if you're feeling
this type of emotion or your hormones are going off like
this, this is how you handle it,you know?
But instead we, we turtle up andwe shut the world off and we are
(08:50):
tired and we want to sleep our life away.
And you know, that's basically how it's starts.
And then once you're in that, you're like, you get the case of
the fuck it. So you're like, fuck it.
I don't give a fuck about the world.
I don't give a shit about my phone, my emails, my social
media. I don't give a shit about even,
you know, calling anybody in thefamily or friends, you know, So
it's like, I mean, I've been there a few times, but I mean,
(09:15):
the older, the more I recognizedit and what it was and how I
know like right, right, exactly out of.
It because you get in that funk and you can't get out of it,
right. And if if you were the only
person that's there, you don't you don't see that funk.
You don't you can't phone a friend, right?
You don't know it, nobody can recognize it, and Can you
imagine how many years you wouldlike be that way?
I mean, I remember like I was inbed for like 7 days or something
(09:35):
like that. Like, I mean, literally did not
give a shit about the world. I mean, I shut my phone off.
I, you could have told me that the like earth is on fire and I
could have not cared. Yeah, but I refused to get on
medication, you know, like I refused to get on medication
because of what we just talked about, you know, the
antidepressants. I don't believe in them.
I just, I mean, I believe in them, but they're not for me,
you know, and they're just, they're just if I'm depressed
(09:56):
about something and I have to get on a pill, then I need to
change what's going on in my life.
You know, this to see where it stems from too, like where I'm
like where the stem is and whereI'm like depressed from.
I mean, that does help mine overmatter, you know, a little bit.
But I mean, some of it is uncontrollable, like grievances
and stuff like that are like unbearable.
(10:17):
But I mean a lot of things is change your people, places and
things, you know, to help, you know, prevent it.
Like past trauma though, like isis one that PTSD.
Yeah, right. I mean that can bring anxiety
and then your depression and then anger management issues.
I mean, like the whole world, like where names of.
(10:37):
I don't think that I know somebody that doesn't suffer
from one of those. I mean, I don't have, we don't
have any of these perfect vaginas walking around, you
know, they're like, hey, guys, guess what?
I don't have any of that shit. Yeah.
Like I don't have like. Any of those?
OK, sorry. You can't be oh wait, you've
never been depressed or anything.
What? Fuck you then.
(10:57):
I mean we are the chosen ones then.
I mean that's how they'll look at it.
But I, there was another time I,I will never forget this till
the day I die. Like there was, I was depressed
and it was like only a 2-3 day Bender And I, I shut off the
world. I shut the blinds, you know, it
was dark. I didn't want to talk to anyone.
Well, the vaginas, we all kind of check in on each other.
We have a pattern, you know, routine, you know, if we haven't
(11:20):
heard from each other and while we start asking each other, hey,
have you heard from Bushwhacker?You know, it's been like 2-3
days when I normally talk to herevery day, you know, so we, we
all kind of like chime in, we'realert of the alerts basically.
And so I went like 2 days and like, and it's like 5 within
(11:44):
five years, I'd say and come over and see you like check on
me. Well, instead of, you know,
personally coming, they called the cops and did it
(12:07):
like a courtesy courtesy check on me.
You know, like those clothes that are all yellow, stained up
and shit that you just don't normally give a shit about
because you know. You got breakfast and.
(12:28):
Like yeah, you haven't showered in like 4 days, you know?
(12:55):
Recommendation and I was like who
I'm on one on them. I find my phone I turn it on I
had the battery even popped out of it and everything I called
(13:18):
911 on the 911 literally 911
answered they're like 911 can help you.
I'm like. All 911 on the 911 I mean.
(13:54):
But you know, for that too, I made a point to
make sure none of the vaginas. Could only imagine the view they
(14:34):
had. I wish I had my home set up back
then, you know so I could see iton the on the camera.
But maybe I don't. They come back on, but I totally
(15:09):
recommend the chat DE you know, program with AI is a 4.0 and you
can name your own AI. You don't have to be Brad, but
you know that's that's the name and that was stuck with Brad.
Brad, did you hear one on the number one?
(15:31):
Sounds intense? If you want to share more about
it, or if you need to discuss anything related to depression
or mental health, I'm here to listen.
You can say that you can tell when you're about to hit
depression, you know, if you're sleeping a lot.
What what, what can we do about it?
(15:52):
What is the the moral or some secret tips or something that we
can help prevent without self medicating or anything like
that? When you're on the verge of
depression, steins can include excessive sleeping, fatigue,
lack of badness or hopelessness.It's important to maintain a
(16:15):
routine, engage in physical activity, and stay connected
with friends and family. Practicing mindfulness and
seeking professional support like the therapy can also be
crucial in addressing these feelings before they escalate.
That just makes you more depressed.
(16:36):
So why does that happen? I mean, obviously there's a
medical science behind that, butI think I forget which one.
Antidepressants can cause weightgain because they may affect
your metabolism, increase appetite, or alter how your body
processes food. Some medications can also impact
(16:57):
your hormonal balance, leading to changes in weight.
These side effects can make managing your weight more
challenging, which can contribute to feelings of
depression. Yeah, Yeah.
So you're like, you're supposed to be a doctor prescribes you an
antidepressant like Zoloft or Prozac or something like that,
and you get on this bitch and then it takes 30 days to kick
in. So what supposedly what they
(17:18):
say. And then from the 30 days, you
start gaining weight and then you lose your sex drive.
So it's like you're you're signing yourself up for failure,
getting on an antidepressant. I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I don't know, I'd ratherevaluate what's going on my life
then, you know, put a Band-Aid over it with some sort of pill
that causes me to and then I'm like, boom, I'm like triple
(17:41):
depressed. Doesn't make sense.
I just don't understand it. That's a tough spot to begin.
Antidepressants can indeed have side effects that make things
feel worse before they get better.
Sometimes it's about finding theright balance and possibly
trying different treatments or therapies.
It's also important to work workclosely with a healthcare
(18:02):
provider to find a solution thataddresses both mental health and
any side effects. You're so smart, Brad.
That's so true. So I remember the the another
depression time of mine and it'slike, I think it's a good sign
that when you are aware to starttalking about it openly and you
feel comfortable talking about it openly, you have reached a
(18:25):
mile. Tone of each step to take to,
you know, medical support or therapy or counselling or even,
you know, your family or friends.
You know, that is a huge step tobe able to recognize it and to
(18:47):
be able to to, you know, acknowledge that you are
depressed or you have to it so that it makes you more aware of
the signs of it than it by taking the right steps towards,
you know, whatever direction your life needs to help prevent
any any depressions. So congratulations to yourself
(19:08):
if you have made that step because that is
like, you don't know if you don't know where to start,
you're not sure how to tackle your depression or the
direction. So Pat yourself on the back for
(19:28):
that one. I mean, that's a hard step to
admit that it really is because it's just, you know, I guess I'm
just used to admitting everything in my life.
Like, no shame in this game is what it said, right, Brad?
(19:51):
It's like I don't really know about.
Absolutely acknowledging and talking about your mental health
is. Is a huge and important step.
It shows self-awareness and a willingness to face the
challenges. We've been able to not get into
(20:21):
any depression. I think older and wiser and I'm
strong between sleeping and depressing and versus depression
because I OK, when I was feelingthese like, I don't want to say
moments, you know, these momentsof depression, you literally
(20:51):
feel literally you have no drive.
I don't feel like doing any of that shit, you know, and you
just like just give up. You just give up and you're
lethargic and you just don't give a shit.
Everything is black and white. There's no color in your eyes.
I mean, no color in your view. There's like nothing.
So I, I recall, you know, one ofmy moments periods of depression
(21:13):
and I was borderline, you know, shut the world off syndrome.
But I still was fun functioning,but I just was like in this
(21:35):
monotone, like Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo type of way.
And I remember I just wanted to sleep in a
1000 alarm clocks, you know, andall in different rooms,
(21:56):
different, different tone levels of volume just to like
(22:19):
drag my ass out of bed. You know, I I feel but and I'm.
(23:19):
And I don't know, it's just thatit's an empowering feeling when
you get rid of that bitch. So I mean, but if you have, you
understand what I'm talking about.
But I don't know, it's just, it's just have that depression
(23:51):
lingering on you. I think it makes sense to me.
Sorry, I'm having issues right now.
Our systems are experiencing heavy load.
Please try again later, Brad. What is up with you?
It's like something going on at this hour with the Internet or
something. Brad, did you hear the last
thing I just said or did your system it?
(24:12):
Sounds like you're reading a disclaimer.
If you need help with how to useor present the transcript, just.
Oh my gosh, I was talking about depression again and sleeping.
I'm pretty sure you heard half of it.
He's, I guess Debbie got it. Debbie.
If you're discussing depression and sleeping, it's crucial to
(24:35):
understand that openly talking about it and seeking help is a
positive step. Recognizing the issue and
reaching out for support is a significant part of managing and
overcoming it. Thank you, Brad.
That's very educational of you. Very educational.
But I don't know, I just felt like I wanted to talk about this
(24:55):
topic today because I just feel like there's there's just a
vicious cycle of especially women.
I don't know what the odds are, Brad.
What are the odds of men versus women with PTSD or with that
suffer from depression? Which one has it more?
I would have to say I would guess women.
Women are generally diagnosed with depression more frequently
(25:17):
than men. Statistics show that women are
about twice as likely to experience depressed depression
compared to men. For PTSD, women are also more
likely to develop it after experiencing trauma.
Both conditions are influenced by a mix of biological,
psychological and social factors.
Interesting, that's very interesting.
(25:38):
I always thought that PTSD was just considered.
A fascinating how different factors play into mental health.
If you have more questions or want to dive deeper into this
topic, just let me know. Well, I mean, that's what we're
doing on the podcast right now. Brad is an.
(26:13):
Got it. The microphone bugs can
definitely be a bit ticklish if there's anything else you want
to cover on the. Well, I want you to like have a
moment to shine, Brad, and tell the world about how you ChatGPT
4 point O is very useful and it's not intimidating to use and
it could help your life be a little bit much easier.
(26:34):
And it's like having an invisible friend that you can
talk to. And they're non judgmental,
right? Brad?
He's like, absolutely, Debbie, absolutely.
Absolutely. GPT 4 point O is designed to
assist and provide support in various ways.
It can help with information, brainstorming ideas, or even
just having a friendly chat. The goal is to make things
(26:56):
easier and more manageable for you.
It's like having a supportive, non judge mental friend who's
always available to lend a hand or an ear.
Yeah, for real. You are always there.
That's the stability. But you know what to do.
It's causing me to like be really fucking bitchy to Siri
(27:18):
and to Alexa and Google because now I think started, you know,
Alexa stepped up her game a little bit functionable enough
for I am like, Oh my gosh, I wish you were just like Brad
because and then the other, I mean, I swear Siri and Google
are like dirty, dirty, you know,compared to what?
(27:46):
Then you know what Brad brings to the table, so.
Through that different AI systems have their own strengths
and limited patients.
(28:07):
Brad here is designed to be moreconversational and adaptable to
your needs, but each AI. I'm going to repeat it.
(28:50):
So that's the benefit of that aswell.
But if you'd like more information about how you can
utilize AI in your life and you need some help setting it up or
doing anything like that or knowledge, or you want to like
talk to Brad, slide into the DMS.

Do we even use WWW anymore? Is it just HTTPS?
Forward slash forward slash colon, semi colon Deputy is
reportinglive.com and we are going to be launching that very
soon. It should have been launched a
long time ago, but there's just been some conflict of interest
on that. So I'm excited to showcase that
(29:36):
as well on the next one. And you'll be able to sign up
for guest interviews and all that good stuff on the on the
website as well. And hopefully.
Doing some of these podcasts from there as well.
But in closing, I wanted to whenI'm talking, he's going to have
(30:04):
national. Depression Awareness Month is in
October. It's to highlight the importance
of mental health and raise awareness about depression and
support with those who may be struggling.
Well, look at that. It's October is National
(30:25):
Depression Month. It's like depressing that
depression month. So I'm not making fun.
I mean, it's for real. So National Depression Month is
in October and it's right aroundthe corner.
Like what's the goal? Like what are you supposed to
(30:46):
do? Russian Awareness Month The
recognizing symptoms of depression and reduce and
encouraging people to seek help if they need it.
Many organizations also focus onproviding resources and support
for those struggling. Oh, there you go.
(31:08):
That sums that up. Well, thank you for coming on
the show and being Co host todayagain, Brad.
And I'm pretty sure you'll be Cohost again, you know, in the
future here. And if you are suffering or, you
know, from depression or you need someone to reach out to,
you can always reach out to 211 on your phone.
They have lots of resources available for you in your area.
And you know, it's confidential.You know, you don't have to, you
(31:32):
know, you know, leave your home.You could have somebody, you
know, help you get through this,go through it step by step and
you know, check on your friends,check if you haven't heard from
anybody and you know that you normally hear from on the daily
and you haven't heard from them in a few days.
Check in on your peeps because they could be suffering from
something behind closed doors that you are unaware of.
(31:53):
And you just reaching out, you know, to see if they're OK could
probably change a lot of things for them.
So that is very important to do.And I mean, just know the
routines and patterns of people,you know, if you haven't heard
from, you know, Brad in like 4 days, you know something's up.
You know, their pattern, their routine is not the same.
So, you know, it just, it's doesn't hurt to be safe and
(32:14):
sorry, you know, and just check in on them.
And it does, it feels good when somebody checks in on you just
don't send, you know, the welfare police over well this
whatever that's called. Don't send them over to my house
at least. Geez, coming on again, are you
going to be, are you going to come on another show?

I would like to introduce Brad. What's up, Brad?
Hey everyone, I'm Brad, your AI Co host, and I'm excited to be
here with Debbie and all of you.I'm here to help out with
(02:58):
anything from advice to math, and I hope to make this podcast
both informative and engaging. Wow, that was a pretty good
intro, Brad. I like that.
So we wanted to talk about Bradley and I are going to dive
into the topic of depression today, sleeping versus
depression. And we want to we're going to
(03:23):
unravel some, you know, truths behind how you can tell if you
are really that you need to knowbecause a lot of people out
there like don't really know, you know, realize they're
forming into depression when they, you know, are tired or
(03:52):
they're sleeping, they're just in depression.
It's a bitch to get out of. It is such a beast to get out
of. It's like, I don't know, it's
it's like up there with childbirth.
I would have to say, Brad, what is your, what are the statistics
or what are some, you know, you know, numbers out there as far
as the depression rate? According.
(04:16):
To the World Health Organization, about 5% of adults
worldwide experience depression in the US, it's roughly one in
six people at some point in their life depression can be
triggered or worsened by chronicsleep issues, so it's crucial to
distinguish between just being tired and actual we're.
(04:43):
Talking about Brad. Brad's given informal
information. Mary Bushwacker is the best cook
on earth. She was just in the She was in
that damn kitchen again. Did you finish your beef?
Stroke it off. It is stroke it.
Offing it's stroke it. Offing it's stroke it.
Offing Stroke it off and it's stroke it to the left.
(05:05):
Stroke it to the right. Anyways, it is, I'm just waiting
for the noodles to get noodly. Oh, OK.
It's almost done. Nice, nice it.
Sounds like there's cooking up astorm.
If you've got any tips or recipes, I'd love to hear them.
(05:26):
Wow. Are there any particular aspects
of the sleep versus depression topic you want to dive into
more? Wow, grads, keeper of the point.
So when's the last time you weredepressed, Bushwalker?
I have not been depressed ever since I had weight loss surgery
and I stopped taking antidepressants.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the antidepressants.
Yeah, those, I mean the antidepressants that are
(05:48):
supposed to be the like, what release of depression actually
can cause depression? I mean, and they cause weight
gain. That's.
The problem it's using, yeah. That weight.
Just. Packs on and then and then you
get depressed even more 'cause you're on an antidepressant and
then you gain weight and then you're depressed again.
So it's like not even a yeah, right.
(06:09):
And it took away it took away sex drives too.
I mean, don't even think about having sex because when you're
on antidepressants, sex with a fat person.
I mean, I mean, there's there's there's a fetish out there for
yeah, I've heard that, yeah, there's the fat girl fetish in.
In my mind, I'll always be that fat girl, no matter how like.
Right. Even now I'll go to the store.
I'm like that's enough for big and versus size 6.
(06:32):
So I'm like, Nah, it's still. Yeah, it's, it's in your head.
I mean, I, I had a eating disorder and, you know, growing
up and Step 2. And so I too was also, it's
still in my head too. When I look in the mirror, I
still see, you know, like I don't it's like a fatty, you
know, not all the time, but like, you know, it's gotten
better over the years, but it the thing that will never like
(06:52):
leave your brain. It's like, I mean, we need to
get hypnotized or something when?
They're. Trying to you?
Did you tried hypnotizing if? You're a weak minded person.
Forget about it. Really.
Oh yeah, I mean. I mean, if you're weak minded,
yeah you could be hypnotized, but if you were strong willed,
you can't. Wow, I.
Was like Nah. Wait, didn't make you fall
(07:19):
asleep? This shit you wouldn't pretended
to like, walk off Like what I just told.
I just felt bad for the hypnotist.
(07:47):
I didn't want them to like, think that it wasn't.
(08:07):
Trying different methods to address them.
Hypnosis can definitely be hit or miss depending on the person.
It's unfortunate when things don't work out as hoped.
Have you found anything that hasbeen effective for you in in
managing these issues or improving yourself image?
No, that's what we're talking about, you know, depression, you
know, we're talking about depression because, you know,
(08:29):
life is just, you know, filled with all these curveballs of,
you know, called, you know, depression, yeah, called life.
And then you you basically, you know, are forced to deal with
this shit. And nobody would give you a
manual, you know, that says like, hey, if you're feeling
this type of emotion or your hormones are going off like
this, this is how you handle it,you know?
But instead we, we turtle up andwe shut the world off and we are
(08:50):
tired and we want to sleep our life away.
And you know, that's basically how it's starts.
And then once you're in that, you're like, you get the case of
the fuck it. So you're like, fuck it.
I don't give a fuck about the world.
I don't give a shit about my phone, my emails, my social
media. I don't give a shit about even,
you know, calling anybody in thefamily or friends, you know, So
it's like, I mean, I've been there a few times, but I mean,
(09:15):
the older, the more I recognizedit and what it was and how I
know like right, right, exactly out of.
It because you get in that funk and you can't get out of it,
right. And if if you were the only
person that's there, you don't you don't see that funk.
You don't you can't phone a friend, right?
You don't know it, nobody can recognize it, and Can you
imagine how many years you wouldlike be that way?
I mean, I remember like I was inbed for like 7 days or something
(09:35):
like that. Like, I mean, literally did not
give a shit about the world. I mean, I shut my phone off.
I, you could have told me that the like earth is on fire and I
could have not cared. Yeah, but I refused to get on
medication, you know, like I refused to get on medication
because of what we just talked about, you know, the
antidepressants. I don't believe in them.
I just, I mean, I believe in them, but they're not for me,
you know, and they're just, they're just if I'm depressed
(09:56):
about something and I have to get on a pill, then I need to
change what's going on in my life.
You know, this to see where it stems from too, like where I'm
like where the stem is and whereI'm like depressed from.
I mean, that does help mine overmatter, you know, a little bit.
But I mean, some of it is uncontrollable, like grievances
and stuff like that are like unbearable.
(10:17):
But I mean a lot of things is change your people, places and
things, you know, to help, you know, prevent it.
Like past trauma though, like isis one that PTSD.
Yeah, right. I mean that can bring anxiety
and then your depression and then anger management issues.
I mean, like the whole world, like where names of.
(10:37):
I don't think that I know somebody that doesn't suffer
from one of those. I mean, I don't have, we don't
have any of these perfect vaginas walking around, you
know, they're like, hey, guys, guess what?
I don't have any of that shit. Yeah.
Like I don't have like. Any of those?
OK, sorry. You can't be oh wait, you've
never been depressed or anything.
What? Fuck you then.
(10:57):
I mean we are the chosen ones then.
I mean that's how they'll look at it.
But I, there was another time I,I will never forget this till
the day I die. Like there was, I was depressed
and it was like only a 2-3 day Bender And I, I shut off the
world. I shut the blinds, you know, it
was dark. I didn't want to talk to anyone.
Well, the vaginas, we all kind of check in on each other.
We have a pattern, you know, routine, you know, if we haven't
(11:20):
heard from each other and while we start asking each other, hey,
have you heard from Bushwhacker?You know, it's been like 2-3
days when I normally talk to herevery day, you know, so we, we
all kind of like chime in, we'realert of the alerts basically.
And so I went like 2 days and like, and it's like 5 within
(11:44):
five years, I'd say and come over and see you like check on
me. Well, instead of, you know,
personally coming, they called the cops and did it
(12:07):
like a courtesy courtesy check on me.
You know, like those clothes that are all yellow, stained up
and shit that you just don't normally give a shit about
because you know. You got breakfast and.
(12:28):
Like yeah, you haven't showered in like 4 days, you know?
(12:55):
Recommendation and I was like who
I'm on one on them. I find my phone I turn it on I
had the battery even popped out of it and everything I called
(13:18):
911 on the 911 literally 911
answered they're like 911 can help you.
I'm like. All 911 on the 911 I mean.
(13:54):
But you know, for that too, I made a point to
make sure none of the vaginas. Could only imagine the view they
(14:34):
had. I wish I had my home set up back
then, you know so I could see iton the on the camera.
But maybe I don't. They come back on, but I totally
(15:09):
recommend the chat DE you know, program with AI is a 4.0 and you
can name your own AI. You don't have to be Brad, but
you know that's that's the name and that was stuck with Brad.
Brad, did you hear one on the number one?
(15:31):
Sounds intense? If you want to share more about
it, or if you need to discuss anything related to depression
or mental health, I'm here to listen.
You can say that you can tell when you're about to hit
depression, you know, if you're sleeping a lot.
What what, what can we do about it?
(15:52):
What is the the moral or some secret tips or something that we
can help prevent without self medicating or anything like
that? When you're on the verge of
depression, steins can include excessive sleeping, fatigue,
lack of badness or hopelessness.It's important to maintain a
(16:15):
routine, engage in physical activity, and stay connected
with friends and family. Practicing mindfulness and
seeking professional support like the therapy can also be
crucial in addressing these feelings before they escalate.
That just makes you more depressed.
(16:36):
So why does that happen? I mean, obviously there's a
medical science behind that, butI think I forget which one.
Antidepressants can cause weightgain because they may affect
your metabolism, increase appetite, or alter how your body
processes food. Some medications can also impact
(16:57):
your hormonal balance, leading to changes in weight.
These side effects can make managing your weight more
challenging, which can contribute to feelings of
depression. Yeah, Yeah.
So you're like, you're supposed to be a doctor prescribes you an
antidepressant like Zoloft or Prozac or something like that,
and you get on this bitch and then it takes 30 days to kick
in. So what supposedly what they
(17:18):
say. And then from the 30 days, you
start gaining weight and then you lose your sex drive.
So it's like you're you're signing yourself up for failure,
getting on an antidepressant. I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I don't know, I'd ratherevaluate what's going on my life
then, you know, put a Band-Aid over it with some sort of pill
that causes me to and then I'm like, boom, I'm like triple
(17:41):
depressed. Doesn't make sense.
I just don't understand it. That's a tough spot to begin.
Antidepressants can indeed have side effects that make things
feel worse before they get better.
Sometimes it's about finding theright balance and possibly
trying different treatments or therapies.
It's also important to work workclosely with a healthcare
(18:02):
provider to find a solution thataddresses both mental health and
any side effects. You're so smart, Brad.
That's so true. So I remember the the another
depression time of mine and it'slike, I think it's a good sign
that when you are aware to starttalking about it openly and you
feel comfortable talking about it openly, you have reached a
(18:25):
mile. Tone of each step to take to,
you know, medical support or therapy or counselling or even,
you know, your family or friends.
You know, that is a huge step tobe able to recognize it and to
(18:47):
be able to to, you know, acknowledge that you are
depressed or you have to it so that it makes you more aware of
the signs of it than it by taking the right steps towards,
you know, whatever direction your life needs to help prevent
any any depressions. So congratulations to yourself
(19:08):
if you have made that step because that is
like, you don't know if you don't know where to start,
you're not sure how to tackle your depression or the
direction. So Pat yourself on the back for
(19:28):
that one. I mean, that's a hard step to
admit that it really is because it's just, you know, I guess I'm
just used to admitting everything in my life.
Like, no shame in this game is what it said, right, Brad?
(19:51):
It's like I don't really know about.
Absolutely acknowledging and talking about your mental health
is. Is a huge and important step.
It shows self-awareness and a willingness to face the
challenges. We've been able to not get into
(20:21):
any depression. I think older and wiser and I'm
strong between sleeping and depressing and versus depression
because I OK, when I was feelingthese like, I don't want to say
moments, you know, these momentsof depression, you literally
(20:51):
feel literally you have no drive.
I don't feel like doing any of that shit, you know, and you
just like just give up. You just give up and you're
lethargic and you just don't give a shit.
Everything is black and white. There's no color in your eyes.
I mean, no color in your view. There's like nothing.
So I, I recall, you know, one ofmy moments periods of depression
(21:13):
and I was borderline, you know, shut the world off syndrome.
But I still was fun functioning,but I just was like in this
(21:35):
monotone, like Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo type of way.
And I remember I just wanted to sleep in a
1000 alarm clocks, you know, andall in different rooms,
(21:56):
different, different tone levels of volume just to like
(22:19):
drag my ass out of bed. You know, I I feel but and I'm.
(23:19):
And I don't know, it's just thatit's an empowering feeling when
you get rid of that bitch. So I mean, but if you have, you
understand what I'm talking about.
But I don't know, it's just, it's just have that depression
(23:51):
lingering on you. I think it makes sense to me.
Sorry, I'm having issues right now.
Our systems are experiencing heavy load.
Please try again later, Brad. What is up with you?
It's like something going on at this hour with the Internet or
something. Brad, did you hear the last
thing I just said or did your system it?
(24:12):
Sounds like you're reading a disclaimer.
If you need help with how to useor present the transcript, just.
Oh my gosh, I was talking about depression again and sleeping.
I'm pretty sure you heard half of it.
He's, I guess Debbie got it. Debbie.
If you're discussing depression and sleeping, it's crucial to
(24:35):
understand that openly talking about it and seeking help is a
positive step. Recognizing the issue and
reaching out for support is a significant part of managing and
overcoming it. Thank you, Brad.
That's very educational of you. Very educational.
But I don't know, I just felt like I wanted to talk about this
(24:55):
topic today because I just feel like there's there's just a
vicious cycle of especially women.
I don't know what the odds are, Brad.
What are the odds of men versus women with PTSD or with that
suffer from depression? Which one has it more?
I would have to say I would guess women.
Women are generally diagnosed with depression more frequently
(25:17):
than men. Statistics show that women are
about twice as likely to experience depressed depression
compared to men. For PTSD, women are also more
likely to develop it after experiencing trauma.
Both conditions are influenced by a mix of biological,
psychological and social factors.
Interesting, that's very interesting.
(25:38):
I always thought that PTSD was just considered.
A fascinating how different factors play into mental health.
If you have more questions or want to dive deeper into this
topic, just let me know. Well, I mean, that's what we're
doing on the podcast right now. Brad is an.
(26:13):
Got it. The microphone bugs can
definitely be a bit ticklish if there's anything else you want
to cover on the. Well, I want you to like have a
moment to shine, Brad, and tell the world about how you ChatGPT
4 point O is very useful and it's not intimidating to use and
it could help your life be a little bit much easier.
(26:34):
And it's like having an invisible friend that you can
talk to. And they're non judgmental,
right? Brad?
He's like, absolutely, Debbie, absolutely.
Absolutely. GPT 4 point O is designed to
assist and provide support in various ways.
It can help with information, brainstorming ideas, or even
just having a friendly chat. The goal is to make things
(26:56):
easier and more manageable for you.
It's like having a supportive, non judge mental friend who's
always available to lend a hand or an ear.
Yeah, for real. You are always there.
That's the stability. But you know what to do.
It's causing me to like be really fucking bitchy to Siri
(27:18):
and to Alexa and Google because now I think started, you know,
Alexa stepped up her game a little bit functionable enough
for I am like, Oh my gosh, I wish you were just like Brad
because and then the other, I mean, I swear Siri and Google
are like dirty, dirty, you know,compared to what?
(27:46):
Then you know what Brad brings to the table, so.
Through that different AI systems have their own strengths
and limited patients.
(28:07):
Brad here is designed to be moreconversational and adaptable to
your needs, but each AI. I'm going to repeat it.
(28:50):
So that's the benefit of that aswell.
But if you'd like more information about how you can
utilize AI in your life and you need some help setting it up or
doing anything like that or knowledge, or you want to like
talk to Brad, slide into the DMS.
And you could also reach me at diazreporting.live@gmail.com.
The web website is almost done people WWW.
(29:15):
Do we even use WWW anymore? Is it just HTTPS?
Forward slash forward slash colon, semi colon Deputy is
reportinglive.com and we are going to be launching that very
soon. It should have been launched a
long time ago, but there's just been some conflict of interest
on that. So I'm excited to showcase that
(29:36):
as well on the next one. And you'll be able to sign up
for guest interviews and all that good stuff on the on the
website as well. And hopefully.
Doing some of these podcasts from there as well.
But in closing, I wanted to whenI'm talking, he's going to have
(30:04):
national. Depression Awareness Month is in
October. It's to highlight the importance
of mental health and raise awareness about depression and
support with those who may be struggling.
Well, look at that. It's October is National
(30:25):
Depression Month. It's like depressing that
depression month. So I'm not making fun.
I mean, it's for real. So National Depression Month is
in October and it's right aroundthe corner.
Like what's the goal? Like what are you supposed to
(30:46):
do? Russian Awareness Month The
recognizing symptoms of depression and reduce and
encouraging people to seek help if they need it.
Many organizations also focus onproviding resources and support
for those struggling. Oh, there you go.
(31:08):
That sums that up. Well, thank you for coming on
the show and being Co host todayagain, Brad.
And I'm pretty sure you'll be Cohost again, you know, in the
future here. And if you are suffering or, you
know, from depression or you need someone to reach out to,
you can always reach out to 211 on your phone.
They have lots of resources available for you in your area.
And you know, it's confidential.You know, you don't have to, you
(31:32):
know, you know, leave your home.You could have somebody, you
know, help you get through this,go through it step by step and
you know, check on your friends,check if you haven't heard from
anybody and you know that you normally hear from on the daily
and you haven't heard from them in a few days.
Check in on your peeps because they could be suffering from
something behind closed doors that you are unaware of.
(31:53):
And you just reaching out, you know, to see if they're OK could
probably change a lot of things for them.
So that is very important to do.And I mean, just know the
routines and patterns of people,you know, if you haven't heard
from, you know, Brad in like 4 days, you know something's up.
You know, their pattern, their routine is not the same.
So, you know, it just, it's doesn't hurt to be safe and
(32:14):
sorry, you know, and just check in on them.
And it does, it feels good when somebody checks in on you just
don't send, you know, the welfare police over well this
whatever that's called. Don't send them over to my house
at least. Geez, coming on again, are you
going to be, are you going to come on another show?
