This episode, I explain what major depression is at the biological and psychological level and the various treatments that peer-reviewed studies have revealed can help prevent and treat depression. I explain the three major chemical systems that are altered in depression: norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine. I discuss genetic predispositions to depression and how stress, thyroid hormone and cortisol play a role in many forms of depression. I also discuss inflammation as a common feature of many depression symptoms. I review 8 specific science-supported protocols for treating and avoiding depression, including EPA fatty acids (which have been shown to rival certain prescription treatments), how exercise protects against depression, studies of creatine, adjusting dopamine balance and more. I also discuss the results of ongoing clinical trials for ketamine and psilocybin for depression, how these compounds work and finally, I review how ketogenic diets can help in certain cases of depression, especially treatment-resistant major depression.

When I had a clinical depression I used to run around 50 miles a week. Every time I told myself ā€œit must help my depressionā€ but after every run I felt more and more exhausted both physically and mentally. Going for a run added more stress and anxiety because I expected it to heal me but it didnā€™t. Then I started blaming myself for not training hard enough which worsened the symptoms of my depression even more. Eventually I started meds which helped me to get back on track. Exercise, diet, and meditation might help but when youā€™re so deep into depression it might be useless

This podcast is one big reason I have come out of depression and feel so much better. I get my sunlight, eat my omega 3s, vitamin d, ashwaganda, and L-theanine and Iā€™m speechless at how big of a difference itā€™s made. Iā€™ve stopped crying and falling into despair, and upsetting things arenā€™t a tsunami of sadness anymore. I cannot thank you enough. May God bless you and your efforts. (The other factor that helped is PickUpLimes video about feeling lost, and using the printable worksheets she gives to find out what my values are and living according to those)

I love that Huberman truly does stick to the science. Nothing really philosophical, moral, nor opinion based. Purely fact driven. Itā€™s such a breath of fresh air.

Iā€™ve had severe depression, getting out of bed feels like jumping into an ice lake, eating breakfast feels like eating feces. And the intensity of these feelings can vary all over the place, you cannot plan anything because your perception of reality can change just like that. What in one second felt like a nice walk in the country, feels like a stroll down a never ending corridor

I live in Norway, and it's been common practice for 50 years, for society to promote consumption of Omega-3/EPA's, especially to help with seasonal depression due to the darkness/climate. In addition the promotion of good work/life balance, which generally leads to less long term stress - this is a powerful combination.

Anxiety: Everything is important. Depression: Nothing is important. ADHD: I have no idea what's important.

I suffered from depression all my life. At about 55 years old I took a food allergy test which showed I had a gluten/wheat allergy. I removed wheat from my diet and after about 2 weeks I was depression free. If I accomplish nothing else in my life, I am depression free.

I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

I'm almost 40. I would guess I had my first depressive event around 10. Since then I've spent 20 +years casually learning about depression, and never has information come to me in a more digestible, empowering way. I have enjoyed your podcast for many months, but this one feels like it was for me. Thank you!

Literally life saving episode. I'm just tuned in because I'm really struck by depression right now. And for someone who is described as a person with lot of positive energy, mental strength and kindness facing with this is really impossible to realise...

Your mindfulness while speaking and selection of appropriate words with the phrases of clarifying those words on the sides it's just unreal.. It shows how thoughtful you are while creating this podcast. Greatly appreciate your workā¤
