A conversation that takes two parts to cover. Dr. Firas Nakshabandi was living two cultures and fit outside of each one due to his familiarity with the other, it got him wondering about how people misunderstand and treat other. Which led him to explore psychiatry/therapy along with the push from parents and culture to be a doctor. We cover stigma, what common mental health concerns look like in other cultures with cultural psychology, the brain as a pattern recognizing organ that produces bias and the challenge to overcome, a health care that easily sets up for in the door out the door treatment, and advice to Muslims looking to go into science.

Stick with us for an extended conversation as Radio Islam goes After Hours.
