oh yes i agree with this study, wish i would have found out about it 10 years ago tho xD i have struggled with depression and anxiety for about more than 12 years and in the recent years when i got out of both of these i have been intuitively investing myself into activies which require me polishing my executive brain function to break down the executive functions and my experience 1. Activation - that is being able to get up and do things, my room and my hygiene was always garbage and in the recent years i have taken over the responsibilities of the maid/house help along with cleaning myself regularly 2.Focus - i.e attention span, my attention span was always top notch but only when it comes to the things i want to do or i feel the need to do, not being depressed defiantly adds to the list of things i feel the need to do XD an example would be feeling the need to do chores around me for the sake of activation 3.Effort - i.e the ability to in a sense mediate your thoughts and the processing within and mediating awareness or alertness, i lacked both of these heavily and i would d prefer not being aware or alert when i was depressed, investing myself into a subject or a conversation with another perspective is something i did not enjoy before but i do now which requires effort, per say, but i still have to work more on this category 4.Emotion - ability manage frustrations and mediate your emotions , this has been my focus from about 6 years and simply conversing with the people close to me about heavy topics which induced me breaking down into tears , doing this over and over did give me a grasp of my emotions and how to handle them, still working on it tho 5.Memory - i had suppressed my memory when i was depressed and i smoked so much pot that i have blasted my memory into bits but finding my way back did invoke me digging into my past to make sense of the things the child me might have misinterpreted or adding some perspectives the child me would not have had getting out of depression is pretty much clearing out the gunk from your dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and this study fits in like a jigsaw based on my experience

True? Hold long were you in it? And now that you're ok don't return to depression!

True? Hold long were you in it? And now that you're ok don't return to depression! yes very true because in order to get out of depression you have to , in a sense be a hypocrite as you have to go against all your intuitions and constructs and imagination of the self, its like asking a driver of a car to turn the car around which is going at 200 kmph in one direction in an instant xD i was depressed and anxiety ridden since around 5th grade that is around 10-12 years of age and i got out of it around last year , so around 9 years i was in the pit of despair if you will, still not out of it but very close to the light the ladder is strong :D

so, without getting into psychological assessment tests, or tracing the mood fluctuations in its ups and downs, i could say after reading this study that reinforcing the cognitive functioning could be a treatment for anxiety and depression

I have had several diagnoses over my life. I'd say the worst was PTSD/Panic Disorder. The thing with them is that they aren't connected to worrying about anything. I'd be sitting in a chair at home and suddenly be unable to breathe. I originally went to the doctor thinking I had asthma since it runs in my family. I don't. It is now under control.

PTSD can cause breathing problems? But this made me think about a similar situation. How long were you unable to breathe? Were you able to stand up or move at least? If you're ok talking about of course but if not it's ok. Just curious to learn more

They would last fifteen minutes to a half hour but would put me out for hours and hours not knowing what was wrong with me or what caused it.
Most of us have some health concern or other to look out for and my nerves are mine.

Sorry about your experience though sad

I get anxiety all the time. Not fake anxiety like "haha I'm worried about a test" or something like that. You know the feeling of panic, that sudden jolt of adrenaline (the bad kind) when you find there's a spider on you or you're falling off a chair. I have that feeling but all the time and it's constant and it won't go away. And it drives me mad. It's like being on fire but you can't put it out.
