Stage 2: Acceptance

Once you have been diagnosed with depression, the next step is to accept that you have a mental illness. This can be a difficult step to take, but it is essential for moving forward.

Accepting your depression does not mean that you are giving up. It simply means that you are acknowledging the reality of your situation. Once you accept your depression, you can begin to take steps to manage it.

During the recovery stage, you may experience some setbacks. This is normal. The key is to not give up and to keep working towards your goals.
