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.
