Description:

Is it the chicken or the egg? Did your chemical imbalance lead to weight gain, or did weight changes trigger a hormonal shift? Did depression cause neurotransmitter imbalances, or did the imbalance spark depression—or both? This week, we speak with a psychiatrist who specializes in the physiological effects of mental health, and take a deep dive into trauma.

Listen and learn:

  • The clinical definition of trauma
  • What really happens when we "get over" past trauma
  • The role of social support in healing
  • Why physical exercise might be the most powerful mental health intervention of all time
