Summary

Chris Palmer (Brain Energy) is a psychiatrist, professor, and author. Chris joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he believes mitochondria can be the key to treating mental disorders, how his mother's condition motivated him to become a psychiatrist, and what psychosis is. Chris and Dax talk about how diet plays a role in treating metabolic disorders, their experiences with father figures from their childhood, and the different reasons people experience anxiety or depression. Chris explains how he accidentally cut off two of his fingers, how he went from being homeless in high school to a professor at Harvard, and why he had to learn to accept himself.
