Summary

CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains swearing.

For the past few decades, almost every year, levels of depression and anxiety have increased across the Western world. But why?

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 94 of the podcast with the brilliant Johann Hari.

Johann went on a forty-thousand-mile journey around the world to interview leading experts about what causes depression and anxiety, and what solves them. In this clip he explains that although we’ve been told a story that drugs are the solution, in many cases the cause is not in our biology but in the way we live.
