The data points to a sharp rise in society’s
symptoms in a relatively short time, which
indicates the root cause of most depression
isn’t a chemical imbalance—human genes do
not change that fast. Something else accounts
for this. People are losing hope and meaning—
and they are losing it faster than at any time in
history.

George Bonanno is a clinical psychologist at Columbia University’s Teachers College; he heads the Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab
Living through adversity doesn’t guarantee that you’ll suffer going forward. What matters is whether that adversity becomes traumatizing.
• Why do some people use the system so much more frequently or effectively than others?
• Do you conceptualize an event as traumatic, or as an opportunity to learn and grow?
• “Events are not traumatic until we experience them as traumatic,”
• Coined term: PTE, or potentially traumatic event.
• Every frightening event has the potential to be traumatic or not to the person experiencing it.

In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner teaches people to reframe an initially negative event in positive terms, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot,” changing their experience and reaction.
You can train people to better regulate their emotions, and the training seems to have lasting effects.

Children with spirituality are 60 percent less likely to be depressed as teens, 40 percent less likely to engage in drug use and 80 percent less likely to engage in some risky behaviors. Cortical thickness was observed in study participants who said “spirituality is personally important,” regardless of their specific religious traditions.
Spirituality is an inner sense of relationship to a higher power that is loving and guiding.
