Are our emotions and behaviours shaped by biology alone, or is there something deeper at play? And are we truly less psychologically healthy than past generations? Two leading medical experts tackle these pressing questions. Neurologist Dr. Guy Leschziner, author of The Man Who Tasted Words, explores the biological roots of human behaviour in his new book, Seven Deadly Sins: The Biology of Being Human, questioning whether “sins” are moral failings or natural functions. Psychiatrist Dr. Alastair Santhouse, author of No More Normal: Mental Health in an Age of Over-Diagnosis, offers insights from clinical practice to address today’s mental health challenges and propose fresh solutions.
