Welcome to the Lila Rose show. This is Lila Rose. I'm delighted that you're listening.

Today we're going to deep dive the topic of depression,

something that impacts millions of people, people that we might know, maybe even ourselves, and we're going to be asking the question, what is it? How can we heal? How can we help those that we love? And joining me today will be Dr. Aaron Karyotti.

He's an associate professor of psychiatry

and the director of bioethics

at the University of California Irvine,

so UC Irvine.

He's also a prolific author. He has written for

Washington Post Wall Street Journal and has also written the book which I

personally love called a Catholic Guide to Depression.

Dr. Karyotti, thanks so much for joining me.

Thanks, Lyle, it's great to be with you.

This is something when I announced it on social media,

so I did an Instagram story saying I would be

interviewing you and asked what other people's questions were for a

psychiatrist on the issue of depression. I started getting dozens, I think we're well past a hundred responses in just a couple hours from people direct messaging me with their questions.

So this is something that affects a tremendous amount of people,

whether themselves personally or their friends or family

or loved ones.

And I think this will be really good just to do an overview

on depression and also to really what we can do whether it's something we may be

struggling with or people that we know that we love may be struggling.
