Bas Kast: “I was wondering where this sadness came from”

Sadness, depression, never-ending worries is what many experience in these troubled times. The best-selling author Bas Kast has experimented with many therapies – and finally overcome his own depression.

Mr. Kast, over the past few years you have been on a tour de force to find out what helps with a mental depression: changing your diet, meditation, forest bathing, hallucinogens. Have you ever considered doing what many in your situation would have done – see a psychiatrist?
When people with low mood see a psychiatrist, they are usually offered two standard methods: antidepressants and some form of talk therapy, usually cognitive behavioral therapy. Nothing can be said against both approaches, even if they are of course not perfect. But I’m just someone who always likes to see what I can do myself.
