Show notes
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
