I'm very pleased to announce my first lecture of the fall/winter season, and one that couldn't be more timely.
With all of the concern circulating about new infectious diseases, there is one communicable disease that is rarely seen for what it is: Depression.
Please join me on Wednesday, Nov. 5, as I present new information which shows that depression is much more than a simple neurotransmitter imbalance in the brain.
Research is now showing how depression can be transmitted among members of a community, or even between people separated by great geographical distance.
The problem is not all in your head. Depression can result from engaging in certain activities, eating certain foods, and even by the microbes in your gut.
Find out how you can avoid depression infection, and what to do if you've already caught it, at my free lecture. Bring a friend.

I'm kicking off this year's fall/winter lecture series with what I think may be one of my best -- and most important -- lectures ever. It will be held at 7 p.m. at the Litchfield Community Center, on September 22.
The title of the lecture is What To Do When The Drugs Don't Work, and will discuss the ways that alternative medicine can assist people suffering from chronic illness.
