It's end of January and there is still barely any sunlight - Anne and Maria have a conversation about mental health. Some topics they discuss: ✧ The medicalisation and the commodification of human life ✧ CBT as a solution to the mental health crisis (as proposed by WHO) ✧ the perceived individual responsibility for disability and mental health struggles ✧ have we approached some of the (mentally) hardest times in history? why? ✧ Soviet psychiatry and slow progressive schizophrenia (also keep an open ear for the endless variations of Anne pronouncing the word schizophrenia) ✧ the Bernie Sanders meme This episode the ladies also experiment with a new-age bimbo outro. We hope this conversation makes our listeners feel less alone in their peripeties!
