The International Risk Podcast Episode 18: with Ken Duckworth from NAMI
Today we are joined by Ken Duckworth. Ken’s journey into psychiatry started when he was a boy growing up with a dad who experienced severe bipolar disorder. His father was loving, kind and periodically quite ill, hospitalized for months at a time. Ken became a psychiatrist in part to help his father. He is very fortunate to serve as the medical director for NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness of the United States) and to be part of this remarkable community.
Today we will discuss the mental risks the pandemic is provoking in the population and how these may affect individuals, societies and businesses.
