Today,  I sit down with Dr. Nick Fabiano, MD, a resident psychiatrist, to explore the powerful connection between creatine supplementation and depression. We dive deep into current scientific evidence discussing how creatine, typically known for its athletic performance benefits, might significantly improve mental health and depressive symptoms.
