If you struggle with depression, it can be a challenge to imagine feeling better even for a minute.

Even three months after the 16 country-spanning experiment had ended, these patients often reported that their depression symptoms remained less than they had been before.
This technique was simply training themselves to effectively suppress their negative thoughts and emotions — even though bottling up one's the inner darkness goes against conventional wisdom, which holds doing so worsens your mental health.
