Guest Lecture: Biopsychosocial Model
of Depression with Lychee Tran
What if we tried approaching depression
the way we approach the flu?
• When we feel like we might be coming down with
the flu, we change our behavior:
• Go to bed early and sleep more than usual
• Take vitamins (e.g., zinc and C) that aid the immune
system
• Drink more fluids
• Stay home from work or school
• Expect less of ourselves
What if we could make a list like this for depression?
What is stress anyway?
