Evolutionary Medicine: Part 3 with Dr Mark Donohoe

Do anxiety and depression have an evolutionary function? Why do we sleep? And is the explosion of neurological conditions we now see perhaps a result of selective processes?  In the third and final episode of the Evolutionary Medicine series, Dr Mark Donohoe dives into why dysfunction may be happening as a result of evolution occurring faster than humans can adapt, resulting in widespread depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and neurodiversity, and why it is important to take natural cycles and seasons into account when treating patients, rather than offering therapies designed merely to cover them up.  Using Dr Donohoe's functional approach to symptomatology, we'll delve into WHY the body responds to various disease states and how we can both assess and intervene to bring the patient back to normal functioning.  Find today's transcript and show notes here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/podcast/evolutionary-medicine-part-3-dr-mark-donohoe *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
