Understanding And Treating Depression (Udemy.com)

I was diagnosed with depression, and took this course, to understand it more and see what can do with it. Presented information are good and easy to understand. However, the teacher is looking at the notes very often, which distracts me a lot. But I stopped looking at him and just listened, and the knowledge he was sharing is very useful.

Dan is an engaging instructor and I've really enjoyed this course of his. It was a good match for me as a beginner and I felt I walk away with a trove of valuable information all packed in a 3.5 hrs course. The handbook provided is useful as it saves me a lot of time, not having to take notes (which i really despise doing). Being a visual person, I could read the notes and then listen to Dan as he teaches... it helps with the knowledge retention. Equally important, this course also provides sufficient practical knowledge on how to go about treating depression. That said, it goes without saying that it would help a lot with implementation if you have existing knowledge of therapies mentioned such as mindfulness, CBT, etc.

Enjoying the course, lots of information. I find it to be very engaging if a bit fast paced. It will probably take some additional reviewing and returning to the course to fully understand and recall specific details so that I can put the information into practice. Thanks! :) Really enjoy learning about this information as it is so personally relevant as well. As someone who is interested in practicing counseling, it also really opens my mind and eyes to what are some strategies therapist are using to engage their clients and help them realize positive change in their lives. Not to mention some behaviors that I personally engage in that are rather self-defeating :)

At first when I brought the course and seen the video content was rather short I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I now see why this course is rated so highly. It gets straight to the point, with no waffle, and often I'm filling a page full of notes from just one four minute video. He really does know his stuff, and teaches everything in such a no nonsense way. Very impressed.

Increased my understanding, knowledge on ways to deal with and help guide those with depression, informative and well presented. thank you.

Another excellent Dan Jones course! Watched the whole thing in one sitting. Every time I take one of Dan's courses I get 10X back what I paid for entry and I can only imagine the value I'll get from his next course too. When you take this course you'll get profound views and perspectives on depression and new approaches to treating it that many providers won't or can't offer because they simply don't know and aren't trained in the kind of techniques that Dan teaches you. You will find this course helpful whether you are a counselor, therapist or other practitioner or even if you are someone who is currently experiencing depression, or even if you just know someone who is experiencing depression and is looking for new ways to manage the condition. Inside the course (and I won't give away specifics here) there is one particular reframe that made the entire course worth it. If I'd only heard that one point and nothing else in this course, I would've felt I got my money's worth, but Dan goes well beyond in the 3+ hours of material. Thanks for being so awesome Dan! Keep up the great work!

Most courses and books I have read mention the fight or flight response and very few recognise the third behaviour which is freeze, something I am very familiar with. So, I'm grateful that this has been identified in this course and will help others who react in this way.

Mr Jones is a very skilled man with vast knowledge, I enjoyed this course and the fact that he does not regard medications to be the only treatment for depression. I can recommend this course for everyone working with people, or anyone who knows/ loves someone suffering from depression. -It is vital to have this perspective, so we can give help that WORKS.

I like Dan's style it is engaging and he is very knowledgeable and experienced. This course gives a great insight into the causes and treatment of depression. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a greater understanding of the topic.

Dan Jones is very experienced and has a lovely easy and extremely knowledgeable style. The course taught me so much, not just about depression, but how to help client get to potentially get out of depression and move on with their lives. Really, really enjoyed this one and will implement much of what I have learnt in my own work.
