A new perspective on depression- Dr. Alex Korb

Nearly 6 percent of the global population suffers from depression, according to the World Health Organization. The long-held belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain may be an oversimplified explanation.

Neuroscientist Alex Korb offers a new approach to understanding this mental health condition. Korb has studied the brain for over 20 years. In addition to his book, he has published dozens of peer-reviewed articles. Currently, Korb is an adjunct assistant professor at the University of California.
