Looking at Depression Through an Evolutionary Lens

Psych Congress cochair Charles Raison, MD, gave attendees a “10,000-foot view” of what depression is at the Psych Congress Regionalsmeeting here, and will explore the idea more at the upcoming Psych Congress 2018 preconference.

“I’m not claiming that this provides a universal understanding of depression or even necessarily that it’s right,” Dr. Raison said in opening his talk. “But it’s good to think about things, sometimes raise our head a little bit above the intense struggle we have on a daily basis in the clinical world and just think about a 10,000-foot view.”
