Which of these myths have you believed?

Most people living with depression or anxiety have heard at least one of these. Dr. Nedley walks through each myth, the research behind it, and why believing it can keep people stuck for years.

Myth 1

“Depression and anxiety are just a normal part of life.”

Why “I can still do fine while putting up with it” holds so many people back from their full potential.

Myth 2

“It’s a sign of weakness or lack of willpower.”

How this belief fuels the stigma that keeps people from getting the help they need.

Myth 3

“Medication and therapy are the only options.”

What effect-size research actually shows about standard treatments, and what else has been studied.

Myth 4

“I’ve tried everything. Nothing will work for me.”

Why being “treatment resistant” doesn’t mean you’re resistant to every approach.

Myth 5

“Pharmaceuticals and counseling are where the best science is.”

Why nutrition and lifestyle medicine are now being called mainstream scientific medicine.

Real stories from people who found help with Nedley Health

“

I was ready to leave the program and had started packing my bags when the program administrator showed up at my door. After talking to me for a while, she then did something that perplexed me – she started crying. I found it so strange that someone would care that much about ME. There was a myriad of things that brought me to where I am today but it was the love I experienced at this program that was something like I had never experienced before in my life. They continued to go out of their way to make ensure my success. Two months after my extended stay, my tests revealed I was depression free, anxiety free, and medication free – and I have stayed so since then. Today, I am one of the 10-day residential program nurses and work with Dr. Nedley numerous programs per year. I get to give back to others what I was so freely given.

Before Depression Recovery I felt inadequate and ineffectual in every task. I embraced the thought of peace in death. At Depression Recovery my counselors gave insight to the deplorable self-talk I was engaged in. I have been given the tools of cure. For largely the first time, I see hope!

Prior to coming to Depression Recovery I had started to dread each new day. I felt frustrated and helpless! I had become very tired and hopeless of life getting better soon. DR has changed the course of life for my husband and me. I feel rested and full of joy. My husband’s emotions are waking up and his personality emerging. He is much more positive.

My anxiety and fear were holding me back from fully living my life and being truly present. During Depression Recovery I learned that I do have the power to face my fears head on and conquer them. My trust and faith have been deepened and I feel a sense of hope and excitement for the future.
