You don't need to be okay all the time. And perhaps trying to escape sadness, anxiety, and discomfort is making life even harder.

In this episode of Manifesto with Maria Cândida, psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Barros discusses one of the great traps of our time: the idea that we need to be happy, motivated, and emotionally well all the time.

But where does normal sadness end and depression begin? How do you differentiate anxiety from an anxiety disorder? Does all suffering need to be treated? And when is it really time to seek help?

In this conversation, we talk about depression, sadness, anxiety, happiness, mental health, negative emotions, fear, anguish, frustration, stress, emotional suffering, self-esteem, self-knowledge, resilience, and emotional regulation.

Daniel explains why unpleasant emotions also have a function, why trying to eliminate them can increase suffering, and how to learn to live better with what we feel.

We also discussed the contemporary pressure to be happy, comparison with others' lives, the relentless pursuit of well-being, the medicalization of suffering, the use of medication, psychotherapy, and the signs that may indicate that sadness has ceased to be merely a natural reaction to life and has begun to require professional attention.

A particularly important conversation for those who have ever asked themselves:

“Am I sad or am I depressed?”

“Why can't I feel happy?”

“Is it normal to feel anxious?”

“When should I see a psychiatrist or psychologist?”

“Do I need to be okay all the time?”

Because mental health doesn't mean living without sadness, fear, or anxiety. It also means developing resources to recognize, understand, and navigate these emotions.

ENGLISH

You don’t have to feel good all the time. And constantly trying to escape sadness, anxiety, and discomfort may actually be making life harder.

In this episode of Manifesto with Maria Candida, psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Barros discusses one of the biggest emotional traps of modern life: the belief that we should be happy, motivated, and emotionally well all the time.

Where does normal sadness end and depression begin? How can we distinguish everyday anxiety from an anxiety disorder? Does every form of suffering need treatment? And when is it time to seek professional help?

We discuss depression, sadness, anxiety, happiness, mental health, negative emotions, fear, frustration, stress, emotional distress, self-esteem, self-awareness, resilience and emotional regulation.

Daniel explains why uncomfortable emotions have a purpose, why constantly trying to eliminate them can actually increase suffering, and how we can develop a healthier relationship with what we feel.

We also discuss the pressure to be happy, comparison, the pursuit of well-being, the medicalization of emotional suffering, medication, psychotherapy and the warning signs that may indicate it is time to seek professional help.

Mental health does not mean living without sadness, fear or anxiety. It also means developing the ability to recognize, understand and navigate our emotions.
