Evolutionary Psychiatry and the Influence of Social Environments on Mental Health

Adam begins the Evolving Psychiatry podcast by introducing some key concepts from evolutionary psychiatry, talking a bit about the sorts of disorders which evolutionary psychiatry concerns itself with, and generally making the case for evolutionary psychiatry as a suitable new paradigm for psychiatry.

Following this episode, there will be a series of twenty episodes on various topics in evolutionary psychiatry, interviewing experts about a corresponding chapter they authored in the new volume 'Evolutionary Psychiatry: Current Perspectives on Evolution and Mental Health' published by Cambridge University Press.

The book is available for purchase here via CUP or on Amazon.
