Attended an excellent talk tonight by Edmonton psychiatrist Dr Pratap Chokka, some "cutting edge" thoughts about pathophysiology and prevention, as well as non pharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment, definitley a few things for me to think about and further research for my own talks in the future.
Supportive / loving environment, lifestyle, diet, exercise, mindfulness - are these the keys to not allowing depression to surface even in a genetically prone "vulnerable brain", can we prolong remission and prevent relapse with these? So many questions - it's all very exciting and positive.
It was all worth missing the Olympics (for just one night) - I mean if Canada can't blow Germany off the ice - they really are in trouble against the Russians tomorrow night !!
