Rethinking Depression: How to Fill in Your Potholes
Dr. Arlene R. Taylor
Dr. Taylor, founder and president of Realizations Inc, a nonprofit corporation pledged to promote brain-function research, returns to Healthy U in September with a 50-minute seminar to teach men and women how to rethink depression.
Using the “pothole metaphor,” a variety of challenges and contributory components are included such as: genetics and epigenetics, gender differences, age of onset, hormonal imbalances, lack of specific micronutrients, and symptoms.
If you have experienced a bout of depression, situational or clinical, or have dealt with a family member or friend who was depressed, you already know the toll this can take on everyone. Strategies for prevention and for recovery do exist. A two-pronged approach can be helpful in filling in personal potholes; in enhancing your ability to prevent (insofar as it is possible to do so), recognize symptoms quickly, and/or recover from depression.
Dr. Taylor’s goals in all her empowering presentations are to help people understand more about brain function in general, and to help individuals identify personal innate giftedness so they can manage their brain’s unique energy advantage effectively and thrive.
Arlene began her professional career as a registered nurse. Years of working in acute hospitals, and in K-12 schools, provided her with a rich base from which to practically apply brain-function information in a variety of settings. Eventually she added a master’s degree and two earned doctorates to her Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
An internationally known writer and speaker, Dr. Taylor includes brain function research into her presentations. The information she shares, when practically applied, can help people to be more successful — by design. Audiences around the world have found her to be an engaging and imaginative speaker.
Dinner service begins at 6:30 p.m. followed by the presentation at 7:00 p.m. Space is limited and cost is $10 per person. Please call 916-835-8132 for reservations or email to charleen.HealthyU(a)gmail.com.



Presentation was excellant. Lots of good information to learn, understand and manage your brain energy to assist you in this daily uphill/downhill battle. To know that you really can have “control” of this illness of which I never thought possible. Thank you
