Please be aware that this episode contains references to suicide. James Longman is an award-winning journalist and foreign correspondent for US Network ABC News. Writing a book about his father’s schizophrenia and eventual suicide taught him about his genetic predisposition to inheriting the same illness. James explores how science gives us a different perspective on mental illnesses, exploring factors like genetics and environment.
