Abhiuday Chandra: Overstimulation, Depression & The Mental Health Crisis No One Talks About

Depression and anxiety are rising at alarming rates—over 1 in 10 people in the UK are on antidepressants, yet the crisis shows no sign of slowing. Could the hidden culprit be something we’ve overlooked: digital overstimulation? In this episode of Dose of Health, I sit down with entrepreneur Abhiuday, who battled his own journey with depression, antidepressants, and therapy before finding a new path. Together, we explore how endless notifications, dopamine overload, and shrinking attention spans are reshaping our brains, hijacking our focus, and leaving millions trapped in restlessness and burnout.We go deep into the science of overstimulation—its impact on dopamine, serotonin, and the nervous system—and ask the big questions: Are we treating the root cause of depression, or just masking symptoms? Is lifelong medication the only solution, or can breathwork, meditation, and mental fitness offer an alternative? Abhiuday also shares how his personal struggles inspired him to create Zenfinity, a platform designed to help people reclaim calm in a noisy world. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of scrolling, stress, or self-doubt, this episode will change how you see mental health—and how you care for your mind.Chapters:00:00 Introduction 00:13 The Epidemic of Overstimulation05:34 How Overstimulation Affects the Brain and our belief system 11:25 Instant Gratification, Dopamine, Addiction & Social Media15:31 Breathing, Anxiety, and the Nervous System 23:01 Overstimulation and the Rise of Depression25:12 Antidepressants: Band-Aid or Solution?31:38 Antidepressants: Use, Limits, and Personal Story38:04 What is Creativity?40:52 Substances, Microdosing, and the Search for Relief47:29 Therapy vs. Meditation: Finding What Works01:00:04 Building Zenfinity App & Tools for Mental Fitness01:04:59 Dose of HealthMusic from #uppbeat:https://uppbeat.io/t/arend/emberLicense code: KQLJIRR0OZP5PEDSAbhiuday's Social:Instagram: @abhiudaychangra Zenfinity app: @zenfinity.app Connect With Me-Instagram- @ abhishekkatiyaryt TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@abhishekkatiy...Buy Me A Coffee- http://buymeacoffee.com/AbhishekYT
