The book was co-authored by Charles Raison and Vladimir Maletic and offered research on the mind-body connection as a way to tackle depression, incorporating topics like the immune system.
Chuck Raison, a psychiatrist and a professor of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, and Vlad Maletic, a clinical professor of neuropsychiatry and behavior science at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, wrote a book together called, "The New Mind-Body Science of Depression," in which they offer research on the mind-body connection, such as looking at the immune system, as a way to tackle depression.
He'll hear, has a lot to say about this new book. He's written about depression and what meditation can and cannot do for that.
Well yeah, so it's called the new mind body science of depression and it's basically, so Vlad is being modest he is one of the countries real leading educators of mental health clinicians around the neurobiology of all sorts of stuff.
This sort of integrated view of what depression is as a mind body disorder. Let's foolishly let's write a book, and so we started writing a book, we had a lot to say and it took us five years and you know yeah it's like 700 pages but basically it's this sort of compendium of various views on depression like what causes it from evolutionary perspective, from a more pragmatic stress genetics and then what's its underlying neurobiology and how does it interrelate with you know the immune system and inflammatory systems and systems in the body and then a bunch that Vlad's done you know brilliantly on the brain.
