Medical attention not for a feeling
○
Almost one half (49%) of those who feel they have suffered from depression or anxiety have never gone to see a
doctor about this problem.

SEEK HELP
○
Assistance works but young people don’t seek it

Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected, allowing them to
get back to their regular activities.

Not just humans that feel depressed, animals do too
○
Isolation
▪
Hiding/ not vulnerable, safe- evolutionary adaptation
□
Sleeps a long time
▪
I withdrawal
○
Withdrawing triggers a response from environment that they need in order to get out of it
○
Adaptation
○
Evolutionary Purpose
-
Depression - Historical- why does it exist?
Biological
-
Response to painful physical stimuli is moderated in the brain by serotonin
-
Shared neurologic pathway
-
Depression is Physical
Brian and social together
-
links social experiences to biological processes that affect the development or progression of disease, primarily via
the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

Fires is important but it is also dangerous
Helps get out
◊
Pain= neurological circuitry around pain
Pre-language humans: raw environment, system that is developed is a pain systems because it is
necessary for our survival
□
Our language system borrows from the pain system (piggybacks) because it is so well
developed
Social systems develops over the pain system
Same part of brain lights up for pain and social pain
◊
Because the social experience is biologically mapped on to the pain circuitry
"you hurt my feelings"
◊
When feeling isolated and depressed which is social, we are triggering the same
neurological areas of pain
◊
Brain scans
Developed language: social activity, when it developed our brain is full of circuitry, and one
systems that has developed really well is the pain circuitry
□
Looks back historically
▪
Well-being will always be linked to our social connectedness
○
Physicality of depression and why it is like breaking a bone
○
Biological Piggybacking
-
Social Neuroscience
“You hurt my feelings”
-
Socially painful experiences, such as exclusion or rejection, are processed by some of the same neural regions that
process physical pain.

Brain tells what is hurting

Pain is neurological

Neural Circuitry and Social Pain
