I appeared on 'The Thinking Mind podcast'.
We explore evolutionary psychiatry and its potential to shed light on some of the most persistent questions in psychiatry. We discuss why humans have such uniquely specialized minds and how this perspective can help us better understand neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD.
We delve into the evolutionary roots of behaviors like gossip, examine how personality traits can simultaneously be strengths and weaknesses, and discuss how an understanding of evolutionary psychiatry can empower doctors to communicate with patients in ways that enhance self-awareness and inspire meaningful change. We also touch on the current limitations of the field and consider what the future of evolutionary psychiatry might hold. Thanks to Alex for hosting me!
