David Gillespie: Stress, anxiety, depression, addiction & the neurotransmitter at the centre of it all

Anxiety and depression is on the rise, especially amongst teenagers and young people. Host Amelia Philips and author David Gillespie discuss the connection between anxiety, depression, stress and a seemingly harmless everyday addiction (such as social media, gaming, or even sugar). They discuss what happens at a neurological level, highlighting a key transmitter protein called DeltaFosB. They also discuss the key strategies to break the stress, anxiety, depression, then addiction cycle, and the importance of resetting DeltaFosB.
