Understanding & Conquering Depression

Dr. Huberman your contribution to humanity is substantial. Humans being able to work at maximum potential is a beautiful thing and your work is making that possible. Thank you sir !

Anxiety: Everything is important. Depression: Nothing is important. ADHD: I have no idea what's important.

My son had Schizophrenia..He took his life in 2019..I currently am suffering from chronic depression and severe sleep disorders..i am alll over the place...😢Thank you for having this channel and helping people like me..there is no end in learning...❤

This podcast is one big reason I have come out of depression and feel so much better. I get my sunlight, eat my omega 3s, vitamin d, ashwaganda, and L-theanine and I’m speechless at how big of a difference it’s made. I’ve stopped crying and falling into despair, and upsetting things aren’t a tsunami of sadness anymore. I cannot thank you enough. May God bless you and your efforts. (The other factor that helped is PickUpLimes video about feeling lost, and using the printable worksheets she gives to find out what my values are and living according to those)

6 pages of notes. I feel like a Standford Student. Thank you Dr. Huberman for providing us all with this FREE, potentially life saving information!

When I had a clinical depression I used to run around 50 miles a week. Every time I told myself “it must help my depression” but after every run I felt more and more exhausted both physically and mentally. Going for a run added more stress and anxiety because I expected it to heal me but it didn’t. Then I started blaming myself for not training hard enough which worsened the symptoms of my depression even more. Eventually I started meds which helped me to get back on track. Exercise, diet, and meditation might help but when you’re so deep into depression it might be useless

I love that Huberman truly does stick to the science. Nothing really philosophical, moral, nor opinion based. Purely fact driven. It’s such a breath of fresh air.

I live in Norway, and it's been common practice for 50 years, for society to promote consumption of Omega-3/EPA's, especially to help with seasonal depression due to the darkness/climate. In addition the promotion of good work/life balance, which generally leads to less long term stress - this is a powerful combination.

This lecture will give me knowledge to support a friend who is suffering depression. Thank you, sir, you make our world a better place !

I suffered from depression all my life. At about 55 years old I took a food allergy test which showed I had a gluten/wheat allergy. I removed wheat from my diet and after about 2 weeks I was depression free. If I accomplish nothing else in my life, I am depression free.

I’ve had severe depression, getting out of bed feels like jumping into an ice lake, eating breakfast feels like eating feces. And the intensity of these feelings can vary all over the place, you cannot plan anything because your perception of reality can change just like that. What in one second felt like a nice walk in the country, feels like a stroll down a never ending corridor

Your mindfulness while speaking and selection of appropriate words with the phrases of clarifying those words on the sides it's just unreal.. It shows how thoughtful you are while creating this podcast. Greatly appreciate your work❤

I'm almost 40. I would guess I had my first depressive event around 10. Since then I've spent 20 +years casually learning about depression, and never has information come to me in a more digestible, empowering way. I have enjoyed your podcast for many months, but this one feels like it was for me. Thank you!

Hubie, youre the man. U alone are helping me understand how to become the best version of myself

Literally life saving episode. I'm just tuned in because I'm really struck by depression right now. And for someone who is described as a person with lot of positive energy, mental strength and kindness facing with this is really impossible to realise...

“What You Seek Is Seeking You” Thank you for this episode, at this perfect time..

Ohhh wonderful to hear him say, "...loss of loved one or a pet..." I like him even more for recognizing the importance of the human-pet bond. 💙

I’ve become hooked on your videos this year and while others (doctors) in other professional fields have more credentials on some of these things. Your insight in these podcasts has been satisfying a lot of my curiosity over the years from my depression to adhd to my anxieties on nutrition and caffeine. So many bouncy thoughts roll through my brain from a speed from 1-100, one of my Monday highlights (an off day) and also satisfies me when I’m feeling restless when it’s slow at work. Would love to hear caffeines effects on depression/adhd, or if there already is one. You’re arguably the smartest person I’ve heard talk about anything!

I've suffered depression probably my entire life. Especially since I got my diploma. The fear of failure, the expectations, the feeling of being lost has caused me depression for years. I sleep too many hours and I wouldn't need all those hours to be honest, but I feel exhausted. When I trip I notice different habits and improve my sleep schedule. Thanks for being a positive energy in my life Andrew <3

You are a true ACE* for humanity!!! Your ALTRUISTIC/COMPASSIONATE/EMPATHETIC nature and contributions to make neuroscience more accessible, in order to improve lives, is a true gift to humanity and the future. Thank you
