Summary
Dr. Datis Kharrazian — author of Why Isn’t My Brain Working? — reveals his clinical perspective on what exactly is causing depression and what to do about it.
Here's what we talked about:
* Why there’s more to correcting mood disorders than just boosting neurotransmitter levels with amino acid supplements. A lot more!
* Why traumatic brain injuries often show up as depression … years down the road.
* How chronic gut inflammation can cause brain inflammation, leading to depression.
* What the “other symptoms” presenting with depression (anxiety, insomnia, blood sugar problems, and brain fog) can reveal about its cause.

| 0:00.0 | It's episode 334 of Underground Wellness Radio. Here's what's coming up. |
| 0:04.3 | So as your brain starts to decline, it gets to the point where you don't care and you don't even notice you have it. So if you have depression and you notice it and you want to change it, that's a really positive sign. But if you have depression, you don't even care anymore. Then that's when things get really scary for us and that's where where all the neurodegenerative diseases have to be rolled. |
| 0:21.6 | Every single case of depression is uniquely different, but all neurodegenerative diseases start with depression. |
| 0:27.6 | Most of research has shown there's one therapy that blows everything else away. |
| 0:31.6 | There's a therapy for depression that no drug has ever been able to match. |
| 0:35.6 | It's exercise. |
| 0:48.9 | Yo, what's up y'all? Welcome back to another episode of Underground Wellness Radio brought to you by Underground Wellness.com. The big day is almost here this Sunday, June 14th at 8 a.m. Pacific time. |

| 1:35.0 | just, you know, neurotransmitters and taking amino acids. We talk about brain injuries and how, |
| 1:40.9 | this is the trip. You can get a brain injury and the inflammation just kind of |
| 1:45.8 | stays in the brain and over time can cause depression. We talk about the link between depression |
| 1:52.0 | and neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. And we also talk about, |
| 1:57.4 | this is really fascinating, how the symptoms that present with depression |
| 2:01.9 | can give you some really critical insight into what's causing the depression. And so, for example, |
