Consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das spends his days in prisons, psych hospitals and courts assessing and rehabilitating mentally ill criminals - and working out who is faking it to get a reduced sentence. He gives us fascinating insight into the crossover between crime and sanity.
Dr Das explores how mental illness is portrayed in movies, including Split, Joker, Shutter Island, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. He also gives his expert analysis on famous cases such as Lucy Letby, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Anders Breivik, and Fred and Rose West.
After 12 years working in the field, Dr Sohom Das has seen his fair share of shocking cases and strange delusions - a man who pulled out his own eyeballs during a psychotic episode, and a Texas mother who drowned her 5 children due to delusions.
In this 2 hour interview, we cover everything from lobotomies and electroshock therapy, to religious delusions and psychopathic CEO’s. Dr Das shares how to spot the signs that someone is faking a mental illness, the widely known disorder that actually does not exist, and just how accurate online psychopath tests really are!
