The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers

by Scott Eilers

There are people who understand depression and anxiety on a personal level and there are people who understand depression and anxiety on a medical level. There are relatively few people who understand both, and I’m one of them. As a clinical psychologist I have a doctorate degree and thousands of hours of professional experience providing treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. I also have 39 years of personal experience managing mood and anxiety disorders as I myself deal with these struggles. This podcast is my attempt to synthesize my personal knowledge with my professional knowledge.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really feel Dr Eilers gets it. Anxiety and depression that is. Much of what he talks about resonates with my lifelong experience. His podcast is also entertaining which holds my interest. Just enough self deprecation to be cute but not excessive. I just wish he didn’t need to promote products even if those products are of high quality.

Anxious Ken · Mar 2026

Scott gives voice to both the struggles and painful experience of a depressive, but balances this with the very helpful vantage of a trained therapist. This podcast is highly varied but always intelligent and well-considered. In this show, Scott transposes some of the most useful aspects of his professional and academic training within the lived context of someone fighting depression still through practical, everyday analysis. Thank you, Scott, for this show! When I feel like I can’t find my self or voice on a given day, your show has helped me more than once.

Bungled Fan · Dec 2025

I literally stumbled on this podcast. I was using the browse for something related to mental health issues. Saw this and thought I’ll give it a try. I’ve listened to others but they didn’t really “speak to me”. Wow! First podcast and I knew this was the one for me! I have been desperately looking for professional support and this is it. Thank you so much!!!

2025Jones · Sep 2025

I never listen to podcasts. Yesterday was my first go at looking for anything that might help me right now. This episode was very helpful to hear. I’m currently in this and have been for years. It has gotten more and more intense as of recently. I really hope you make more content about this. I have been chipping away at your episodes the last 2 days and it has been incredibly relatable so thank you.
