Science-Backed Ways to Feel Better (Without Pretending You're Fine!) Alex Korb Ph.D.
In this podcast, neuroscientist Dr. Alex Korb discusses the neuroscience behind depression, emphasizing that it's a pattern of brain activity rather than a personal flaw. He highlights how understanding this can lead to compassionate self-awareness and using small, positive changes to create an upward spiral in mood and behavior. The conversation also covers how high standards and emotions can contribute to stress, and the importance of focusing on manageable actions for personal growth.
