Dr. Can you do more on how to overcome depression. Having ADHD mixed with depression is like picking up piece from a puzzle. I battle with this every day...

---

Um. Hey. When do you plan on more activities because outside is wack. Like you Huberman. Wack a doodle.

We already do have a blood test Huberman. Lithium levels for example is one we use for schizophrenia and bipolar which is a common condition along with the adhd trifecta.

Andrew Huberman saying he is married to me or Whitney or Danny or Amelia or Mia or Noel is the reason for the economic collapse.

Answer 2

I used to think healing the mind meant fixing what was "broken" in me. But this conversation helped me see something deeper: our mind doesn’t need fixing it needs understanding. For years, I carried silent pain. Smiled in public, collapsed in private. Therapy helped, but I still felt like no one truly saw the inner storms. Until I stumbled upon this content. Dr. Deisseroth doesn’t just talk science he brings compassion into it. It reminded me that our mind is not the enemy. It's a messenger. And every symptom anxiety, burnout, numbness is the psyche’s way of whispering: listen to me. I paired this insight with the tools I found in Instant Deep Relief from Manifest Zen especially the body-based exercises that helped me feel safe in my own skin again. If you’re lost, overwhelmed, or quietly battling something no one sees… start here. Understanding is the first step. Healing follows.

Acquiring information about something isn’t the same as understanding it.

Mental health decline is increasing, not decreasing.

I would strongly recommend his book "Projections" to you! Like you said, his perspective on psychiatry is built on deep empathy, curiosity and scientific understanding.
 It's great prose also: he wanted to become a writer in his youth, that talent clearly shows! Moved me to tears several times. A truly exceptional practitioner, very wise, very humble.

Here are some words from the prologue, where he compares human neurology to the principles of weaving - maybe it suits you: "The inner workings of the mind give form to these threads - creating a framework within us, upon which the story of each individual can come into being. Personal grain and color arise from the cross-threads of our moments and experiences, the fine welt of life, embedding and obscuring the underlying scaffold with intricate and sometimes lovely detail. Here are stories of this fabric fraying in those who are ill - in the minds of people for whom the warp is exposed, and raw, and revealing." Karl Deisseroth, Projections

Answer 3

The discussion between Dr. Karl Deisseroth and Dr. Huberman has to be one of the best podcasts I have listened to regarding brain science and the practical functioning of the brain and its many abnormalities and ailments. I can't wait for Dr. Huberman to bring Dr. Deisseroth back for more discussions on brain science

Huberman's breakdown of the circadian system really helped me understand why I was waking up at 3am every night. I've been exploring how emotional stress ties into this too — such an underrated piece of the sleep puzzle.

How weird that I discovered Huberman by reading ASAP science. This is way more my type of zero-cost info. Awesome content.

Excellent interview. Mind related science is hard to quantify but this guy is a true professional and kept it neutral.

Answer 12

I can't wait to listen to this podcast. I was misdiagnosed by a psychiatrist and at the end of the day is all menopause related. I think it's hard for these professionals to diagnose!!! I hope they get better ways of measuring mental illness ❤ soon thank you dear Andrew

Comments

Yep- hormones are SO related to the mind/ hence the saying someone is “hormonal” is equated to “mental.” Joking. but so much of “bipolar” is relevant to hormonal changes- ADHD meds work differently during different times in your cycle- estrogen plays a huge role in brain functioning- causing mental fog etc when low, there is so much- not to mention thyroid.

Answer 13

Thank you for presenting ALL of the newest information in so many areas !
I do a lot of research constantly and you always have something new that completely blows my mind! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Answer 14

Taking psychedelics helped me with depression and anxiety so far, I’m getting to know the real me at 19. Before I was functioning on low battery especially socializing was just too much, isolation and living in the virtual world is how I spent all my years doing. Depression is sooo real it was my body trying to tell me that it is not happy. so I will be my own therapist.

Answer 15

It's a wonderful conversation, regarding high functional ADHD, from my practical experience..outward they look bright but inside it will be a storm, I think it differs from person to person..for a border line high functioning ADHD they just need, "positive words", "validating words"..any negative words will break them emotionally

Answer 16

Thank you so much for bringing such amazing topics with lots of insights and conceptual and highly effective knowledge. Thank you Andrew for your amazing work and I am really grateful to have you in my life.

Answer 17

Fascinating episode. Dr. Deisseroth's insights on emerging therapies and technologies offer real hope for advancing mental health treatment.

Answer 18

I've spent years trying to manifest my dream life but it never seemed to work for me. I tried so many methods but still felt stuck. My friend and I heard about a book called Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley, and I was hesitant at first. But after reading just a few chapters, I realized how much I was missing. Her approach is so different from anything I’ve ever tried. It’s not just about thinking positive, it’s about aligning with real-world actions that bring your desires into reality. Since then, I’ve manifested opportunities I never imagined possible, and my mindset has shifted completely❤️

Answer 19

I always look forward to your podcasts. I learn so much. Thank you Dr Huberman!

Answer 20
