Whether you're quietly struggling yourself, or supporting someone who is, this episode of the Beneath Behaviour Podcast helps you understand what depression can really look and feel like beneath the surface. Because not everyone with depression looks sad.Some keep functioning.Some keep smiling.Some just go quiet.Jackie Hall takes you beyond the surface — into the hidden inner world of depression. This conversation will help you understand what's really happening beneath the behaviour, and what to do next with clarity and compassion.We’ll explore:- The four stress lenses and how “missing out” and “worthless” shape depressive thoughts- Why people often don’t realise they’re stuck in a depression loop- The top-down and bottom-up connection (how your thoughts and body feed each other)- What subtle signs to look and listen for — in yourself or someone else- Why withdrawal makes sense — and how to gently interrupt the cycle- And how, for some people — often men — depression can show up as anger rather than sadnessThis is not about diagnosing. It’s about compassion, awareness, and practical insight.🎧 Listen to the podcast on your favourite platform:Apple: https://apple.co/3E0WH7ISpotify: https://spoti.fi/3Rn39XMAmazon: https://amzn.to/3ru2r3bGoogle: https://bit.ly/3E4LSdW🌿 Explore more at: https://www.parentalstresscentre.com💬 Follow for more daily support + insights:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parentalstresscentreFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parentalstresscentre🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
