David experienced his first bout at around 12 years old. At first, it was uncontrollable crying, not wanting to get out of bed and go to school, and feelings of worthlessness. He was more sensitive than ever about being “left out.” But even with these feelings, he remained the consummate perfectionist. For example, anything less than an “A” in school would prove to David that he was a worthless person. Now at 18, David’s grades are dropping quickly. He can’t eat; he can’t sleep. The pain he suffers day after day, night after night, is unbearable. David feels as if he is drowning in a pool of self-hatred and self-harm. He has turned to alcohol to try to make him feel better and help him sleep. David isn’t just sad and depressed; David is suffering from major depression disorder. He has finally told his parents about his self-diagnosed condition, but they think it’s a “phase” and will just go away. How would the sociocultural perspective psychologist offer help to support David in bettering his life? These methods are unique to each prospective.
