Listen Later

Raquel interviews Dr. Achina Stein, an Amazon international bestselling author of “What If It’s NOT Depression?: Your Guide to Finding Answers and Solutions.” 

This episode is for you:

  • If you’ve been diagnosed or treated for depression, but feel like there could be something else going on

  • It’s also for you if you’re taking medication for depression and it’s not working or you’re having problems with side effects

  • Dr. Stein shares:

    • How depression is on a spectrum from mild to severe and that there could be other reasons for symptoms that need to be uncovered

    • How looking at foods, infections, toxins and stress all affect hormones and can contribute to the root causes of depression

    • Dr. Stein is a board-certified psychiatrist and has been in practice for 25 PLUS years. Propelled by her son’s mental health crisis in 2010, she found functional medicine which resolved all his mental health problems as well as her own. She has a busy private practice called Functional Mind LLC in Riverside, RI where she sees patients for functional medicine and psychotherapy.

      As a companion to her book, she offers programs to find and reverse all of the root causes of your depression-like symptom. It's a perfect alternative to medication for people with chronic mild to moderate depression-like symptoms that does not respond to antidepressant medications. She also offers a course on how to manage antidepressant withdrawal symptoms and “Taper Off SSRI."
