Aliquot #8: Lifestyle interventions for depression and anxiety

Dr. Charles Raison

Various ancient practices, including meditation, hot yoga, and sauna, may aid in the treatment of depression. Whether the medical community will embrace these lifestyle interventions remains to be seen. Available pharmaceutical treatments have their advantages and disadvantages, and while they are helpful for a subset of depressed people, a quarter of patients taking antidepressants may get worse. In this clip, Dr. Charles Raison discusses his belief that ancient practices encourage resilience and stave off depression.
