Hey everyone! I've got my Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner hat on this episode and am putting my Yale degree to use by breaking down the clinical symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (5:47). It delights me that we are taking mental health more seriously as a generation, and it's important to be equipped with the right language and information so listeners like you all are able to properly identify when you may need to seek help. Also a warning that there is a brief discussion of suicidal ideation in this episode (22:25) as it can be a symptom of MDD. A list of episode timestamps are below:
Symptoms (13:13)
Statistics (28:00)
Comorbidities (34:10)
Family History (37:11)
Depressive Subtypes (39:37)
