Exploring the Link Between Testosterone and Mild Depression Treatment

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Chris Aiken to look at a big question: when do we treat an underlying deficit in psychiatric illness? Focusing on difficult-to-treat depression, our conversation delves into the deficit model and looks at different paradigms, from neuroprotective strategies and lifestyle interventions to the nuanced use of medications like SSRIs, lithium, and thyroid hormones, as well as targeted supplements. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that looks at when we approach treating depression by focusing on its underlying causes.
