Nikhil Chaudhary talks about hunter-gatherer life and aspects of ancestral and modern human societies which may differ and lead to mental disorder; and what lessons we may take away for prevention and intervention.
This episode is based on a chapter titled 'Hunter Gatherers, Mismatch and Mental Disorder', authored by Nikhil Chaudhary and Deniz Gul Salali. It is chapter 5 in the book 'Evolutionary Psychiatry: Current Perspectives on Evolution and Mental Health", published by Cambridge University Press.
