Dr. Jodie Skillicorn: Your Health. Your Story. [Ep 98]

A recent review of the serotonin theory of depression which states that chemical imbalances in the brain are the main drivers of depression resulted in the authors refuting this theory. They concluded that, despite the influence of the serotonin theory of depression, no comprehensive review has yet validated the hypothesis.
