Think You’re Depressed? Start Here - Dr. James Greenblatt

Dr. James and I dive into the complexities of depression, its symptoms, root causes, and how functional psychiatry can support healing. We explore why traditional models fall short and highlight nutritional and biological interventions, including amino acids, B12, and low-dose lithium, as foundational tools in treating mental health. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more. Dr. James Greenblatt is a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist and a pioneer in the field of functional psychiatry. He has authored multiple books, including Finally Hopeful, where he outlines a biologically-rooted approach to treating depression through individualized testing and nutritional support. With over three decades of clinical experience, Dr. Greenblatt has helped reshape how mental health can be supported through integrative and evidence-based strategies. 0:00 Introduction 2:12 Dr. Greenblatt’s background 8:04 Underlying causes of depression 12:47 Protein and neurotransmitter production 25:16 CBT and reframing thinking errors 29:19 Nutrients before antidepressant tapering 38:51 Judy's personal reflections on her healing _____ EPISODE RESOURCES Dr. Greenblatt's Website: https://www.jamesgreenblattmd.com Finally Hopeful Book: https://a.co/d/0ifiMFdw Low Cholesterol Causes Risk of Depression and Suicidal Ideation – Interview with Dr. James Greenblatt:    • Low Cholesterol Causes Risk of Depression ...   Why Antidepressants Make You Sicker, Withdrawal Effects and Stopping Depression - Interview with Dr. Mark Horowitz:    • Why Antidepressants Make You Sicker, Withd...   _____ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 📫 Tips and Weekly Updates: https://nutritionwithjudy.com/join-nu...
