每日口說挑戰【TED-Ed】什麼是抑鬱症？- Helen M. Farrell (【TED-Ed】What is depression? - Helen M. Farrell)

[Transcript]

Introduction:
Hi guys, sorry it’s kind of a heavy topic today but actually, it’s an important one worth addressing. I’m sure all of us have felt depressed before. However, feeling depressed and having depression are two different things. Our video explains the symptoms of clinical depression, including behavioural symptoms and also physical manifestations inside the brain. Be sure to take a look at the video later after you complete today’s pronunciation challenge. So here’s our sentence of the day:

Sentence:
Even just talking about depression openly can help, for example, research shows that asking someone about suicidal thoughts actually reduces their suicide risk.
僅僅只是公開討論憂鬱症也能有所助益，例如，研究顯示，詢問某人關於自殺的想法其實可減少其自殺的風險。

Pronunciation:
Just talking (linking words)
Research 是名詞所以重音在第一個音節。如果是動詞就在第二個音節。
Suicidal /ˌsuː.əˈsaɪ.dəl/ ci 是發 /sai/ 的音！重音也在這個音節。

Vocabulary:

Example: I try to reduce and minimize plastic waste by bringing my own containers to buy take-out food.
我帶自己的容器去買外帶，如此可以盡量減少塑膠垃圾。


Outro:
For some people, it can be difficult to express how you feel to others. It can also be scary to share something so personal with someone else. If you are not sure about talking to a good friend or close family about your situation, I encourage you to start with a doctor or a counselor.
Talking about how you feel with someone you trust is the first step towards feeling better. If someone close to you is suffering from depression and has come to you for advice, try not to tell them it’s just a phase and that they will get over it because comparing their situation to normal, temporary feelings of sadness can make them feel guilty for struggling. Instead, help them acknowledge that it is a mental illness which they cannot have control over and ask if they need your help seeking treatment from professionals. Alright guys and that’s it for this week’s episode. Don’t forget to leave your recordings and I’ll see you again next time!

☺Even just talking about depression openly can help. For example, research shows that asking someone about suicidal thoughts actually reduces their suicide risk.
僅僅只是公開談論憂鬱症就能對病情有所幫助。例如，研究就有顯示，詢問某人是否有過自殺的念頭確實可以減低其自殺的風險。
