“Studies suggest that depression can be a normal emotional response to social rejection. This makes it harder to justify the use of antidepressants. If depression is a normal response, it makes more sense to turn to psychotherapy rather than medication.” https://t.co/P8QkaanHxo
Joining us on our #podcast is Dr Paul Andrews. His research focuses on understanding the evolution of #depression, which he argues may be an evolved emotional response for understanding and solving complex problems. #psychology#evolution#mentalhealth

7/ Daniel Gaztambide’s approach reimagines psychoanalysis through a decolonial lens, fusing clinical technique with liberation psychology. For those advocating for mental health and social justice, his work is essential.

6/ "Psychoanalysis can help build lives worth living—but we must also ask: how can we build a world worth living in?" Political action is as necessary as therapeutic work in dismantling systems of oppression.
5/ "We don’t need to force topics like race or class—they’re always there, woven into the patient's experience." Gaztambide encourages therapists to be attuned to the social forces shaping their clients’ lives.
4/ "In therapy, it’s never just two people in the room. The broader social and political world—the 'third term'—always informs the therapeutic relationship." This is key to Gaztambide's decolonial psychoanalysis.
2/ "Psychology is deeply experienced in community and relationships, not in isolation. We need to shift from individual-focused therapy to understanding how social forces impact the psyche." #LiberationPsychology#SocialJustice
@DGaztambide offers his perspective on #psychoanalysis, blending it with liberation and decolonial #psychology. He’s reshaping the way therapists think about the mind, society, and oppression.
