Episode 48 | Dr. Kelly Brogan: Healing Depression and Chronic Pain

From Pain Science Podcast · 31:17

Show by Dr. Joe Tatta

Upwards of 50% of those diagnosed with chronic pain also receive a diagnosis of depression. Along with this diagnosis, they are frequently prescribed a narcotic painkiller, for the pain of course, and an SSRI medication for the treatment of their depression. The question we ask on today's podcast: Is this a wise pharmaceutical combination, and are SSRIs effective for treating the depression that often accompanies chronic pain? Joining us today is Dr. Kelly Brogan, who is a Manhattan-based Holistic Women's Health Psychiatrist, author of the New York Times Bestselling book, A Mind of Your Own, and co-editor of the Landmark textbook, Integrative Therapies for Depression. She's Board Certified in Psychiatry, Somatic Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine and specializes in a root cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms.
