Rottenberg's History with Condition
Rottenberg's research focuses primarily on emotional functioning in depression. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, his research has been covered extensively in Scientific American, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and Time. Rottenberg lives in Tampa, Florida. His book, "The Depths: The Evolutionary Origins of the Depression Epidemic," was published in 2014.
In 2015, Rottenberg founded an international social media campaign that helped to change how the general public talk and think about depression.
Rottenberg Says:
"I have been on many sides of depression. I struggled with severe and chronic episodes of depression for several years in the early 1990s.
"In response to this profound experience, I came to focus my research on the study of depression. I received my Ph.D. in Psychology in 2003 and joined the faculty at the University of South Florida.
"Most recently, I have continued to be an advocate for people who struggle with depression."
