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!
