The Hidden Causes of Anxiety and Depression | with Dr. Robert Hedaya

In this episode of the Frum Health Club Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Robert J. Hedaya, one of the true pioneers in functional psychiatry, for a fascinating and eye-opening conversation about mental health, depression, anxiety, trauma, gut health, sleep, exercise, and what is really driving so much suffering today.Dr. Hedaya has been practicing psychiatry for more than 46 years and has spent decades asking deeper questions than the conventional model often asks. Instead of seeing depression, panic attacks, and other mental health struggles as purely “psychological,” he explains why many of these issues are deeply connected to the body, including nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, hormones, infections, gut health, toxins, sleep deprivation, and chronic stress.One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when Dr. Hedaya shares the story of a woman he treated for panic attacks for a year without success, only to later discover a possible B12 deficiency. After one B12 injection, her panic disorder disappeared. That case helped change the way he practiced medicine and opened the door to the work he has been doing ever since.This conversation is deep, practical, and extremely important.About Dr. Robert J.
