Lost Connections: The Depressed, The Anxious, The Troubled Society / Johann Hari

I speak with Johann Hari, journalist and author of Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions, and Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs

Johann goes over some of the themes he explored in Lost Connections, which includes exploring some of the root causes of depression and anxiety, understanding some of the deep misconceptions we have in Western societies about treating anxiety and depression, as well as pointing to the possibility and potential for radical change to occur in alleviating these mental health issues permeating throughout society.
