The Psychology of Depression

photo by Dan Tritle

Depression.  The cause is believed to be a combination of  genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.  Who's at risk?  We discuss the topic, as well as treatments such as TMS, transcranial magnetic stimulation, a non-invasive procedure which uses magnetic fields to stimulate the brain.

On the Point, our guests are psychiatrists Dr. Marc Whaley and Dr. Jonathan Schwartz.
