In this episode I chat with author and neuroscientist Dean Burnett about writing about the brain, science and mental health, and his new book, PSYCHO-LOGICAL. We discuss the challenges of conveying complex ideas to a broad readership, reflecting the messiness of science, and current theories underpinning our understanding of conditions like depression.
