Dr. Madhukar Trivedi hosts MedScape's newest podcast series, InDiscussion, all about Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). In these podcasts, Dr. Trivedi interviews experts about a variety of topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of MDD.
Season 2 of MedScape's InDiscussion podcast series highlights predictors and precision medicine. The latest episode discusses utilizing subtypes and biotypes for personalized treatments with Leanne Williams, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.
Applying Wellness Habits
One of the foundational components of mental illness management and prevention is the quality of resilience. Resilience is the ability to maintain or regain mental health in the face of adversity or to bounce back from hardship and trauma. Resilience is not the absence of stress. Rather, it is built upon experiences of stress or adversity, and is the hallmark of strength and success. Dr. Trivedi discusses tips for reducing depression and anxiety through gardening with Dallas's own, Gardenuity team.

Sharing Insights
We believe depression should be seen as a treatable illness and we should be proactive rather than reactive. At the CDRC, we have a simple goal: reform clinical practice to bring about better diagnostic procedures, treatment options, and prevention efforts -making regular screening for depression the sixth vital sign monitored, after body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, blood pressure and pain.
