#001 - Depression and the problems of diagnosis (Prof. Chris Dowrick) - a podcast by Danny Whittaker

In this episode I talk to Professor Chris Dowrick from the University of Liverpool about the topic of depression and the problems of diagnosis.

How do we define depression? Is depression the result of a "chemical imbalance"? Can you be genetically predisposed to it? Why are doctors so quick to prescribe medication? And is your GP even trained to spot depression?
