#172 - Johann Hari - What Are The Real Causes Of Depression?

Johann Hari is a writer & a journalist. Rates of depression are at an all time high and yet pharmaceutical drugs have never been more widely used. If depression is simply an imbalance of chemicals in the brain - what's going on? Johann is my favourite writer on depression and this episode has been 2 years in the making. Expect to learn what are the true causes of depression, how reality TV degrades society's values, how you can take back control of your mood, why I lowkey fancy Dame Judy Dench and much more...
