Healing Depression Project: Providing Hope For Treatment-Resistant Patients

Healing Depression Project: Providing Hope For Treatment-Resistant Patients

Author: Dr. Kara Fitzgerald January 13, 2025 Duration: 1:11:12
For many struggling with depression, the message they often hear from traditional care is "just live with it" or "there’s nothing more we can do." In today’s episode, we’re challenging that narrative. I’m joined by Dr. Achina Stein and Silvia Covelli from the Healing Depression Project - a groundbreaking residential treatment and research program. Dr. Stein, a functional psychiatrist, and Silvia, who’s personally battled chronic depression, are offering a fresh approach to treatment-resistant depression. Their in-residence program, launching in March, takes a whole-person approach—integrating nutrition, lifestyle changes, trauma healing, and community support. And with research built into the program, they’re not just helping patients; they’re also paving the way to make this approach more accessible for everyone. If you’re ready to rethink depression treatment, this episode is for you. ~DrKF
