In this podcast episode, my guest is an expert on how brains change in response to experiences. Dr. Kelly Lambert, an author and behavioral neuroscientist, offers us some truly old-fashioned remedies to an ever-present modern problem of increasing rates of depression.
While antidepressants have become a multi-billion-dollar industry in recent decades, the rates of depression haven’t gone down. Dr. Kelly Lambert offers very interesting insights, and brilliant, simple suggestions that homesteaders will totally relate to.
