Today we're peeking into the brain of a psychologist at the University of Kansas who's looking back to humanity's Paleolithic past for answers to one of society's most secretive yet omnipresent problems ... and that is depression. Dr. Stephen Ilardi argues that depression is not a mental-chemical problem...requiring a prescription of say the mood uplifting pill du jour ... Lexepro. Rather that depression is caused by the way contemporary society forces us to live our lives. Watch the "Watercooler Diaries" now for more ...

  • "Depression is caused by the way contemporary society forces us to live our live." THANK YOU!!! I've been desperately trying to convey this to people for a long time. I actually did change my diet, sleep patterns and excercise and it has GREATLY improved my mood.

  • I REALLY enjoyed your video! Yes, I have a history of severe and suicidal depression, and yes you're right. Antidepressant drugs were NOT the answer. They were tried and failed, tried and failed, tried and failed. Even counseling was only marginal at best for this. However, nice companionship and nice touch (i.e. Christian massage therapy) are proven to do wonders for me. However, so many of my "friends" are so CHRONICALLY BUSY!!! May God's peace be with you!

  • This is so superficial.

    Hunter gatherers ate a massive amount of saturated fats and meat. We need fat to make neurotransmitters, including serotonin, to build and maintain the structure of our brains and to make serotonin receptors.

    Sugar and flour do none of these.

    The best thing to eat is grass fed beef or bison meat! Most health food stores sell them. You will feel better!

    Eating fat does not make you fat or cause heart disease. That's a scam by companies that sell sugary, grainy foods.

  • Seems to be a lot of confusion here. Steve Ilardi does not say that antidepressant medication should not be used to treat the illness. Just that such meds are hyped up to be more effective than they actually are, leading many people to wrongly believe that no other change is required to recover and stay recovered.

  • i don't have the energy to do this stuff :/
