186 - Ian Gotlib: Understanding Depression

This week, Katia is joined by Ian Gotlib, a professor of psychology at Stanford University. In this episode, we explore risk factors for depression, its connection to other disorders, and what individuals can do to manage their risk. We also discuss findings from a decade-long study of girls whose mothers have depression, how the way preteens speak may predict internalizing behaviors up to six years later, and how artificial intelligence can advance psychological research.
