    5. The nuclear mental health unit: commodified minds

    It's end of January and there is still barely any sunlight - Anne and Maria have a conversation about mental health.  Some topics they discuss:  ✧ The medicalisation and the commodification of human life   ✧ CBT as a solution to the mental health crisis (as proposed by WHO)  ✧ the perceived individual responsibility for disability and mental health struggles   ✧ have we approached some of the (mentally) hardest times in history? why?  ✧ Soviet psychiatry and slow progressive schizophrenia (also keep an open ear for the endless variations of Anne pronouncing the word schizophrenia)   ✧ the Bernie Sanders meme  This episode the ladies also experiment with a new-age bimbo outro.   We hope this conversation makes our listeners feel less alone in their peripeties!  Our Instagram: @overtonsisters https://www.instagram.com/overtonsisters/  Email: overtonsisters@gmail.com Send us a voice message: https://anchor.fm/overtonsisters/message  Transition and outro sounds: Paxil television commercial , 2001
