Webinar: The relationship between depression and serotonin

Watch our expert panel discuss the relationship between Depression and Serotonin, and what this means for the future of mental health treatment.
The link between depression and serotonin is often oversimplified, centring on the hypothesis that depressed patients are “serotonin deficient”. However, is there more to this relationship that we should be exploring? Through this discussion, our panel considers the deeper connection between the two that is revealed by brain imaging and the role of serotonin in treatment. Interest is only likely to increase with the renaissance in research into the serotonergic agonists that produce psychedelic experience and may provide new approaches for difficult to treat conditions.
