About this listen
We cannot know how to fix a problem until we understand its causes. But even for some of the most common mental health problems, three specialists might offer you three completely different treatments.
As a cognitive neuropsychiatrist, Professor Anthony David brings together many fields of study, from social and cognitive psychology to neurology. The key for each patient might be anything from a traumatic memory to a chemical imbalance, an unhealthy way of thinking or a hidden tumour.
Patrick believes he is dead; Jennifer's schizophrenia medication seems to bring on the symptoms of Parkinson's; Emma is in a coma - or is she just refusing to respond?
These are the fascinating case studies that have driven the most startling insights in Anthony's 40-year career studying illnesses at the edge of human understanding.

Fascinating
The writing is clear and explains medical issues well. The cases selected are indeed very interesting and highlight the persistent mind-body dualism within even current day medicine.
The narration is fine but mispronunciation of medical terms I found extremely irritating - for example, temporal, parietal. This stressed the fact that the author was not the reader and somewhat spoiled the audio experience.
