FoundMyFitness

About this episode

The World Health Organization estimates that more than 350 million individuals of all ages have depression and approximately one-third of all patients with depression fail to respond to conventional antidepressant therapies like SSRI's. The good news is that today, good science is starting to illuminate the underlying biological mechanisms of depression. This new understanding may soon help the clinical world develop new and more effective treatments. 

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • (00:00) The scope of depression and SSRI use
  • (03:37) How inflammation can cause depression
  • (09:26) But what causes inflammation?
  • (12:03) Treating depression with diet
