Major themes of Dr. Drevets studies have involved: 1) characterizing the pathophysiology of mood disorders using multimodal neuroimaging technologies; 2) delineating neural circuits in which dysfunction is associated with major depressive episodes; 3) elucidating effects of genetic variants associated with the risk for mood disorders on neural function, structure and receptor pharmacology; 4) investigating the neural mechanisms of antidepressant and mood stabilizing treatments, and 5) developing novel therapeutics for mood disor

Even though I personally believe in the power of ketogenic diets to improve and even reverse many chronic illnesses, from diabetes to chronic fatigue to
mood disorders, the diet does this by causing very real shifts in body chemistry that can have a
major impact
on medication dosages and side
effects, especially during the first few weeks.
Since exercise plays a
major role in elevating
moods (serotonin) and reducing * stress levels, it stands to reason that increases * in physical activity will have a positive
effect on the immune system through enhanced * levels of melatonin production.
