A verdade que nunca contei sobre minha vida na Noruega

One of my biggest fears in Norway fits inside a small bottle. And I only realized the magnitude of it when I went three days without it.
In this video, I share a very personal part of my life that many people don't see. I've lived with depression and anxiety for years, and recently, going a few days without my antidepressant showed me, in a very harsh way, how much this treatment is part of my routine.
I also recount a situation I've never shared on this channel before: the day my son disappeared for a few minutes at school in Norway. It was one of the greatest fears I've ever felt as a father and an experience that made me think a lot about fear, family, faith, and what really matters in life.
I also talk about what it was like to be without medication, the changes I felt in my mood, sleep, and anxiety, my relationship with depression, and why today I'm no longer ashamed to talk openly about mental health.
I also share a bit about my experience with the Norwegian healthcare system, the care provided by my family doctor, and the difficulty I have in getting more specialized care.
Amidst all of this, you'll get a glimpse into our real life here: Oslo, family, work, autumn approaching, our routine with Noah, and the ups and downs of choosing to build a life far from Brazil.
This video is an account of my personal experience. Issues involving antidepressants, dose changes, or medication discontinuation should always be discussed with a healthcare professional.
🎙️ Also check out the podcast I'm working on here in Norway.
We're aiming for 1,000 subscribers, and several episodes are being dubbed and subtitled in Portuguese. If you can, subscribe and support us:

Meus pacientes que tomam medicamentos tem uma melhora grande na sua qualidade de vida.
Você falando da sua experiência com o uso de medicamento é um trabalho de saúde pública! É muito importante falar de uma forma natural sobre os efeitos dos medicamentos anti depressivos.
É muito saudável e de grande valor deixar o preconceito de lado e falar da importância dos medicamentos no tratamento das depressões.
Continue falando, você está fazendo um grande serviço. Está transformando a vida de milhares de pessoas.
Obrigada, seu depoimento pode transformar vidas!!
Pelos seus vídeos, entendi que você nasceu e cresceu na Bahia e há poucos anos vive na Noruega, uma realidade completamente diferente em clima, luminosidade, cultura e relações sociais. Quando acompanhei sua passagem pelo Brasil e o reencontro com sua família, percebi em você uma alegria e uma espontaneidade muito marcantes. Isso me fez pensar sobre o quanto pertencimento, vínculos afetivos, adaptação cultural e até as condições de luminosidade podem participar da nossa experiência emocional.
Outra questão que me chamou atenção foi a vitamina D. Pelo que você e sua esposa já compartilharam, vocês fazem suplementação. A própria realidade climática da Noruega merece atenção, já que durante boa parte do ano a exposição solar é insuficiente para a produção adequada dessa vitamina. E há estudos que investigam uma associação entre baixos níveis de vitamina D e sintomas depressivos, embora isso não signifique que a deficiência seja a causa da depressão ou que seja o seu caso. Por isso, talvez seja interessante saber se os níveis estão sendo acompanhados por exames e se a suplementação está adequada às necessidades individuais de vocês.
Não estou dizendo que exista uma única causa para o que você sente. Pelo contrário. Talvez justamente por isso seja tão importante olhar para a pessoa de forma integral. Corpo, mente, história, vínculos e ambiente também fazem parte dessa história.
Obrigada por dividir conosco uma experiência tão pessoal. Espero que essa fase também seja um caminho de reencontro com aquilo que faz você se sentir inteiro e conectado à vida.
