Dr. Luke Adler and founder of evolutionary men Jason Lange delve into the complex interplay between physiological and existential factors contributing to depression. They argue that although medications like SSRIs have a place, true healing comes from addressing both physical health and a deeper sense of disconnection from one’s purpose. They explore how poor dietary habits, media consumption, and social environments can contribute to a depressive state, and stress the importance of reconnecting with a sense of personal meaning to combat feelings of stuckness and hopelessness.
