The serotonin myth and the case for therapy with Dr. Joel Paris

For years, it has been conventional wisdom that depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Conventional wisdom in the general public - but not among psychiatrists who have long known this is not necessarily the case. We speak to Dr. Joel Paris about the persistence of this myth, and the value of increasing funding for therapy in addition to - and on occasion in place of - medication.
