Dani Chammas

Dani Chammas, a palliative psychiatrist from UCSF, and Keri Brenner from Stanford join to delve into the complexities of death anxiety. They examine how this universal existential distress differs from psychiatric disorders. The duo discusses its varied manifestations, from minor concerns to debilitating fears, and challenges the notion of 'death awareness.' They also explore how confronting mortality can lead to personal growth and deeper connections, emphasizing tailored clinical approaches and the importance of self-reflection for healthcare providers.
