Mental health has been confusing humans since the first cave-person wondered why they felt weird for no obvious reason. In this episode we trek from ancient trepanation to tomorrow’s psychedelic-assisted therapy and AI mood-bots—with plenty of sarcasm, fun facts, and zero shame. We unpack the biology, psychology, and “life keeps lif-ing” environmental triggers behind mental illness, trash some stubborn myths, and swap personal stories (because our ADHD needs to make an appearance in each episode... iykyk).
