We had the great pleasure of hosting Dr. David Vickery this past Monday. What an honor and privilege it was to hear about the latest scientific research regarding neuroplasticity and neuron regeneration. One of the biggest discussion topics was about how Mindfulness Meditation practices can help lessen the severity of depression symptoms. Dr. Vickery talked about how the Benson's Relaxation Techniques have been scientifically shown to greatly benefit those who suffer from Depression. He left us with a homework assignment to begin implementing GLAD into our daily lives.

Dr. William R. Marchand, MD, has published the book "Mindfulness for Bipolar Disorder" which discusses in depth the techniques and benefits of mindfulness.
