The Depression Pandemic
Bridging the Mind-Body Gap by Balancing the Stress Response
Presenter: Jay Lombard, DO
Clinical Takeaways | Dates | Schedule | Register
About 1 in 4 adults (57.7 million people)—an estimated 26.2 percent of Americans age 18 and older—suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.
Depression, anxiety, panic, sleep disorders, and addictive behaviors are all symptoms that overlap and form patterns of behavior that are either caused by stress, aggravated by stress, or actually cause stress. The Depression Pandemic explores the impact of long-term stress—the common denominator for all illness—on key areas of the brain involved in emotional processing, learning, and memory.
Join Dr. Lombard to explore behavioral neurology from the perspective of the binary brain—a simple model for understanding the reciprocal relationship between the perception of chronic stress, depressive disorders, and the endocrine and immune systems.
At this exciting, educational seminar, Dr. Lombard will also discuss how the stress response dramatically affects key neurotransmitters, thyroid and sex steroids, insulin, and inflammatory signals resulting in distinct, easy-to-identify patterns of behavior that respond to nutritional interventions. You will learn streamlined approaches for addressing common neurobehavioral "stress" patterns associated with:
- Depression and associated subtypes
- Sleep disorders
- Anxiety, panic, and compulsion
- Cognitive impairment
- Hormone-dependent depression, migraine, and inflammation in women
- Learn how to apply the binary brain model to identify distinct patterns of depression subtypes, disturbed sleep, and cognitive impairment
- Develop pattern-specific, natural protocols
- Learn how to streamline supplemental protocols and improve clinical outcomes by reinforcing healing messages between the mind and body
- Unravel the confusion around neurotransmitter testing
- Learn how to assess patterns of neuroendocrine, immune, and neurotransmitter imbalances using established biomarkers
Attendees will receive:
- Assessment forms to assist in identifying HPA imbalance, as well as emotional and behavioral challenges
- Recommended laboratory tests useful in assessing neuroendocrine function
- Nutritional protocols for the management of common neurobehavioral patterns associated with symptom overlap
- Case histories
- Comprehensive syllabus with current references
Discover how to develop pattern-specific protocols
that meet the needs of the mind and body!

ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Jay Lombard, DO, is in private practice in neurology and neuropsychiatry, and employs traditional and complementary medicine approaches in treating a wide spectrum of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Formerly the Chief Resident of Neurology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, he is Board Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Lombard is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurology at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Cornell Medical School, and the Director of the Brain Behavior Center in Pomona, New York. A member of the Medical Advisory Panel for the Cure Autism Now Foundation, he has lectured extensively on both the neurobiology of the autistic syndrome and on the application of complementary medicine in neurological disorders.
