Depression (part I)

*The ideas explored in this podcast are not intended to be a replacement for qualified mental health care. Depression affects the lives of over 300 million people worldwide, according to WHO stats. The prevailing perspective is that it's a chemical imbalance in the brain.  This perspective is being dismantled as our understanding of trauma and the nervous system evolves and we begin to see the link between early childhood experiences and the development of mental illness and disease.
