The diagnosis
Depression fuels feelings of failure – but this woman has a different problem
A smart young woman is not getting anywhere in life, she is depressed and should apply for a pension. What is behind all this?
I met the woman in her mid-twenties for the first time a few years ago during my consultation. She seemed desperate to me. Her story: She did very well at high school. She then moved to another city to study computer science. This is where their problems began. She found it difficult to structure everyday life. She couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. She wasn’t good at assessing which tasks were important and what could wait. She was unable to tidy and clean the apartment.
