Why are we more anxious today, than ever before, and how can antidepressants help, with Dr Rob Cohen?

  • Summary

  • 👉 Dr. Rob Cohen has been a psychiatrist for 30 years, treating people for a variety of conditions, but especially anxiety and depression. But how has treatment changed in that time? Is there any evidence that children today are less resilient than they once were?

    Dr. Cohen reflects on how changes in modern life, including social media, affect our mental health. He also explains how anxiety is linked to the human survival instinct, the difference between trait and state anxiety, and whether there’s a place for antidepressants in treatment.

    There’s also a brief guide to rare psychiatric syndromes, including De Clérambault’s syndrome, Folie à deux, and Capgras syndrome.
