The Biology Behind It: Why You’re Antidepressants May Not Be Working


Listen Later

Did you know that, according to research, only 50% of people experience relief from antidepressants? Why could this be?

In this mini-episode, Dr. Aimie explores why antidepressants often fail to provide relief for many people, expanding on her discussion in Episode 120. She answers a listener's question about what may be causing her to continue to experience brain fog and feeling flat despite increased medication dosage.

You'll hear more on:

  • What is really driving the mental health epidemic
  • The five steps of how the body experiences a trauma response
  • The missing piece in depression treatment (it’s NOT what you think!)
  • How stored trauma and persistent depression symptoms are connected
  • What can create brain inflammation
  • How lifestyle factors like poor sleep can trigger the same response as emotional trauma

If you're taking antidepressants but still struggling with symptoms, this episode offers a deeper understanding of the underlying biology and practical strategies to address brain inflammation for more effective healing.

To hear the full episode and grab the links Dr. Aimie mentioned, head over to Episode 120: Why Antidepressants Don’t Work for Everyone to find out more!
