Major Depression, mit sozialer Isolation: «My fear of others’ judgments was keeping me in a world apart. This was somehow safer but it was making me worse as time went by. I won’t let my fear of others destroy my life.» (Gonçalves et al., 2011, 500)

Major Depression, mit sozialer Isolation: «I want to do all the things that were impossible for me to do while I was dominated by depression […].

Major Depression, mit sozialer Isolation: C: You know . . . when I was there at the museum, I was thinking to myself: ‘‘you are really a different person... A year ago you wouldn’t even be able to go to the supermarket’’! T: How do you think you were able to change this? C: I think the first important step was starting going out and also not expecting that things would be just wonderful and without any difficulties. Now I know how to tolerate my life difficulties without feeling overwhelmed. Life is life, not a paradise, but also not the hell I thought it was. (Gonçalves et al., 2011, 501)
