Nadia has recently been diagnosed with depression. During a session with her therapist, she says:
'I didn't get the project lead role, which proves I'm completely incompetent and will never succeed in my career. Nobody at work actually respects my ideas anyway; they only talk to me out of politeness. I am destined to stay stuck in this dead-end job forever.'
