Three Learning Objectives:
- Describe evolutionary forces that have maintained genetic risk factors for depression in human populations.
- Explain how inputs that signaled survival and reproductive success in ancient environments have been repeatedly accessed across human history to induce states of emotional and physical well-being and stress-resiliency.
- Describe how biological/psychological processes employed by ancient practices are being repurposed as novel treatments for major depression and other stress-related conditions.
