Thoroughly enjoyed this talk by psych prof Eisendrath of UCSF. He discusses how to deal with negative thoughts, and how new techniques in psychiatry are helping people recover using less prescription drugs. Blew my mind when he discusses you inner voice - “think about it, your inner voice, the one that talks negatively to you all the time, it’s like listening to a person you wouldn’t be friends with in real life, right?”
Dr. Stuart Eisendrath, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Director of the UCSF Depression Center, explores alternatives to treating depression that include cognitive therapy and cognitive mindfulness-based therapy, a new technique that blends mindfulness meditation and cognitive therapy techniques to lessen depression, particularly in individuals with recurrent episodes. Series: “UCSF Osher Mini Medical School for the Public” [6/2012]
Don’t have time to watch this right now but thought you might be interested Sean.
