Professor Edward Bullmore is the author of the book The Inflamed Mind: A Radical New Approach to Depression. In this talk at the RSA, he explains his ideas on the link between depression and inflammation. While the research is still in the early stages, Bullmore argues that inflammation could be the key factor in depression in about a third of patients. He hopes that biomarkers on inflammation will one day be tested to determine if that is a factor in a specific patient's depression and then anti-inflammatory remedies can be implemented. While drugs are one method of attacking inflammation, he also acknowledges that dealing with stress and obesity through meditation and diet can also help. He answers questions in the second half of his talk, emphasizing that the one-size-fits-all treatment of depression is insufficient to tackle this complex mental disorder and that the body plays as important a role in depression as the mind.
