Lyme Disease, Depression, and Suicide

Renowned Lyme Disease expert Brian Fallon, MD along with frequent collaborator and expert on suicidal thinking John Keilp, PhD, will lead this greatly-anticipated talk.

The show will educate listeners about different aspects of Lyme Disease, including its presentation -- at times -- as a psychiatric illness, and the uncertainty about diagnosis and treatment. They will also discuss the problem of depression and suicidal thoughts in medical illness and why this is an important topic to address in regards to Lyme Disease.
