    How do antidepressants work? - Neil R. Jeyasingam

    Dig into the discovery of antidepressant drugs, how they work, and what we still don’t know about depression.--In the 1950s, the discovery of two new drugs sparked what would become a multi-billion dollar market for antidepressants. Neither drug was intended to treat depression at all— many doctors and scientists believed psychotherapy was the only approach to treatment. Neil R. Jeyasingam details the decades-long journey that followed and how it revolutionized our understanding of depression.Lesson by Neil R.

    How Japan prevented its biggest city from collapsing - Roman Krznaric

    Dig into Edo, Japan’s circular economy, and how it helped transform the city into a thriving ecological and cultural center.--400 years ago, Edo was on the verge of ecological collapse.

But over just a few decades, Edo became one of the most sustainable and efficient cities in history. So, how did this come about? Roman Krznaric explores Edo's transformation into a circular economy.Lesson by Roman Krznaric, directed by Héloïse Dorsan-Rachet.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-city-that-wasted-nothing-roman-krznaricDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-city-that-wasted-nothing-roman-krznaric/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.instagram.com/helo.dr/?hl=fr Music: https://soundcloud.com/aim-music----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
