Why Stoicism and Depression? Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches us to manage our emotions and accept things we can’t change. It can be especially helpful for those dealing with depression [1]. This approach encourages focusing on positive actions and thoughts we can control, rather than getting overwhelmed by what we cannot. Therefore, by adopting stoicism, we learn to view challenges as opportunities for growth, helping to ease feelings of sadness and reduce stress. This mindset shift can lead to a more balanced and less depressive state.
