What is better: psychology or neuroscience? 🤔 In this episode of Understanding Emotions, I dive deep into both fields to answer this common question. As a PhD student in psychology and neuroscience at the University of Oxford, I explore the distinctions between studying the mind and studying the brain, the core problem of suffering, and how each discipline addresses mental health. We also touch upon related areas like psychiatry, social connection, and the unity of knowledge beyond compartmentalized fields. Whether you're curious about your emotions or a student deciding on your major, this conversation will provide valuable insights. 🌟🧠💡
