It's December and as 2024 draws to a close so does year mark the moving on of on one of our founding hosts. It's Dave's last ever episode (for real this time) and we have the whole crew together to send him off. Dave's final article considers the often overlooked importance of exercise in treating psychiatric conditions, and with her article Alanna brings us up to speed on alternate approaches to defining personality disorders. We miss you already Dave!
