Every year it becomes more apparent that mental and physical
health are closely intertwined. This program, hosted by noted journalist Garrick Utley,
presents research on the link between depression and disease, the brains role in
athletic performance, and the treatment of chronic pain. Experts from the National
Institute of Mental Health, Harvard Medical School, The Salk Institute, and elsewhere
share their remarkable findings on topics such as the relationship between depression and
platelet clotting, how synapses are hardwired, and the development of a drug to block the
encoding of pain memories. The program features segments with singer Judy Collins, who
struggles with depression; major league baseball pitcher Orel Hershiser; and Joffrey
Ballet dancer Taryn Kaschock, who copes every day with the pain of scoliosis. (57 minutes,
