The TED radio hour is made up of excerpts from various TED talks, including interviews with the speakers. A recent program was called Headspace, and it examined various aspects of mental health.Writer and psychologist, Andrew Solomon, talked about his own episodes of depression, then Alix Generous talked about how she was misdiagnosed (and mis-medicated) at a very young age with bipolar disorder. Neurobiologist David Anderson explained why psychiatric drugs don't always work and and how his own experiments with fruit flies offer a more targeted approach. Finally, psychologist Guy Winch talks about the importance of emotional hygiene and how we need to take care of our emotional wellbeing.
