194 How To Deal With Depression: Causes, Symptoms, Types & Treatment

Show Notes

Silvia Covelli and Dr. Achina Stein are big proponents of taking a holistic approach to understanding and treating depression by getting to the root causes. Covelli, drawing from her personal journey and research, stresses the importance of making lifestyle changes like nutrition, sleep, and exercise to tackle depression head-on. Dr. Stein, with her wealth of experience in functional medicine and psychiatry, zeroes in on the physical aspects of depression, urging a closer look at lifestyle, diet, and stress as potential triggers. Together, they shake up the traditional view of depression as just a chemical imbalance, pushing for a well-rounded strategy that considers biological, psychological, and social factors for long-lasting mental well-being.
