Bullying is a strangely accepted part of life; no matter how much schools (and workplaces) do to avoid it, bullies still manage to torment their victims. This week we take a look at the science to find out what makes a bully & whether there are any tactics to tackle this persistent problem

Psychiatric hospitals & mental asylums often receive a bad rap in fiction, but is there any truth to that? This week we dive into the crazy history and science of psych wards!

We mentioned that one can be admitted to a psychiatric ward via showing up at the ward itself, without prior referral.

This is very much *not* the case (as detailed in #1 of our references & further reading). In the UK one should speak to a GP, psychiatrist, or another healthcare specialist for a referral to inpatient psychiatric care.

Apologies for the error! We make an effort to an accurate & reliable source of information, and while sometimes we make mistakes, we are always open to corrections.
