Welcome Back! We have recently partnered with Psych Congress to bring our audience access to some of their leading speakers and educators, and today's episode is with Dr. Charles Raison, a psychiatrist who has done extensive research on the biological and evolutionary underpinnings of depression, which includes inflammation and the neuroendocrine system.

Dr. Raison co-authored the 2017 book The New Mind-Body Science of Depression with the late Dr. Vladimir Maletic, who sadly passed away in December 2024.
