Wired Up

An exciting new show about the brain and depression

Is the brain with depression wired differently? Join clinical psychiatrist Dr Rakesh Jain, host of Wired Up, as he explains this question and explores much more, including: How does the brain respond to depression treatments, and can the brain change?

Wired Up is brought to you by Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. This host is a paid consultant of Otsuka.

EPISODE 1

Understanding depression in the brain

Dr Jain examines myths about depression, and later we learn what can happen when parts of the brain are not connecting.

EPISODE 2

Treatments for depression

Dr Jain asks the internet for questions, we learn how antidepressants and talk therapy are thought to work, and we explore a potentially brain-changing idea.

EPISODE 3

The changing brain

Dr Jain teaches us about neuroplasticity—the brain's natural ability to change—and how, with practice, we may be able to strengthen connections in the brain.
