Depression: Physical Disease, Mental Illness, or Both?

Broadcast on June 30, 2021
With Jennifer Sterling, MS, CNS, SEP, LCAT
Hosted by Bernadette Pleasant

Most of us have been told that depression is a brain problem caused by a chemical imbalance or negative thinking. Jennifer Sterling, MS, CNS, SEP, LCAT, asks, what if there's more to it than that? What if depression is a physical disease caused by something other than just our brains?

In This Session:
