Send us a text

James Longman is the Chief International Correspondent for ABC News, USA. He has covered middle east conflicts, royal deaths and papal appointments.

In his memoir, 'The Inherited Mind: A Story of Family, Hope and the Genetics of Mental Illness', James examines his own mental health issues in the context of his family.

When James was young his father, struggling with depression and schizophrenia, sadly took his own life. As an adult, James began to question if his own bouts of depression were related and if by learning about his father, he could learn about himself.

In this episode I discuss James' thought-provoking book, what he learnt personally, and what scientific research is teaching us about 'The Inherited Mind'.
