8 Ways to Overcome Depression Naturally

To find all the resources mentioned in this video, check out the show notes: https://theipsproject.com/2024/08/8-t...

In evolutionary psychology 🧠, there's often discussion about the mismatch between our modern environment 🌆 and the way our brains evolved to function 🧬. While our lives have transformed dramatically in recent years ⏳, our brains haven't kept pace with these changes.

This disconnection is particularly striking given the rise in depression and mental health issues globally 🌍😔.

Even as modern and wealthy countries achieve unprecedented levels of progress 💸📈, it's curious that depression and mental health issues seem to be on the rise 📉. This paradox has led psychologists, including Dr. Stephen Ilardi 🧑‍⚕️, to question its causes. Could it be that our modern lifestyles are misaligned with those of our ancestors? 🏕️👣
