You Can Beat Depression if You Know What to Do Artwork

Dr. L.'s Healthy Practices' Podcast

This podcast covers a variety of information concerning healthy practices, including, but not limited to mental health, physical health, self-improvement and personal development. While I will, at times, be the main speaker on the podcast, most of the time the narrator on the podcast will be a team member from my parent organization - StressHealth Solutions International (or SHSI). That said, I am referring to the structure of the podcast as more of a "Narrative Podcast." For the most past, the podcast will consist mainly of a narrative introduced and presented by one of the team members at SHSI, and it will not have or follow the more traditional format of one-on-one interviews. The decision was made by the team that this format allows for greater and more frequent coverage of a variety of health and health related information. You can listen to both present and past podcasts by visiting our website at: drlhealthypracticespodcast.buzzsprout.com. Also, if there is an interest in learning more about informational activities associated with Stress Health Solutions International, please visit our parent website at: StressHealthSolutions.com. As a very important disclaimer, please note that the primary purpose of this podcast is to provide general educational information on health and related subjects. The podcast does not constitute advice or services and all listeners should consult with their medical and other qualified personnel for advice concerning medical and medical related actions and services as needed. Thanks, Dr. Livingston (Dr.L.)

You Can Beat Depression if You Know What to Do

December 02, 2024 • Dr. Ivor Livingston • Season 5 • Episode 263

Stress and depression share a significant and intricate relationship, with chronic stress often acting as a precursor to the development of depressive disorders. When an individual experiences prolonged stress, the body’s response can lead to alterations in brain chemistry, affecting mood regulation and emotional resilience. Elevated levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, can disrupt neurotransmitter function, contributing to feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Furthermore, the cyclical nature of stress and depression can create a feedback loop, where depression amplifies stress responses, making it crucial to address both aspects for effective mental health management. Understanding this connection emphasizes the importance of stress reduction techniques as a proactive approach in preventing and treating depression.

This song has lyrics showing how depression can be controlled, or perhaps in some cases beaten, if stress can be controlled.
