Manage episode 429308776 series 3070941
Depression - you would definitely have heard of this mental health condition, and have a basic idea that it affects someone’s moods and behaviours. But how does depression lead to these mood changes, and what’s happening in the brain?

We dive into this with cognitive neuroscientist Dr Hiran Shanake Perera.
