Feeling Good Podcast | TEAM-CBT - The New Mood Therapy

Shownotes Transcript

Rebroadcast of a fabulous interview David did recently for “The Upgrade” Podcast (sponsored by the popular Life Hacker website) with hosts Melissa Kirsch and Alice Bradley on a range of topics, including:

  • Why did you write Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy?
  • Is depression caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain?
  • What’s your experience with electro-convulsive therapy (ECT)?
  • Why did you give up your research career in biological psychiatry?
  • How can you tease out your negative thoughts when you know you're depressed but you just can’t think of any thoughts?
  • How does TEAM-CBT differ from conventional CBT?
  • Can you use TEAM-CBT with severe problems, or is it only for individuals with mild mood disturbances?
