I became a neuroscientist the day my sister sat comatose in a lock up ward of a mental health hospital at the age of 21. As I sat in the hot and steamy room, with my sister stiff as cardboard, staring into space and the doctors saying they were not exactly sure of what was going on.

Why do we think it is ok to treat a girl with incredibly mild symptoms-like hearing voices- with ...

It is common to find yourself not being able to do anything productive. We think we can be really working harder at home. During time of mass panic and relentless flow of news. The only thing the brain can do- is "FREEZE". It is physiological. Stick your hand in ice for 2 minutes and get motivated again. Counter-intuitive advice I know.Support the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com
