A Flutter Of Nerves
Burnout, depression, or whatever you want to call it, seems to be omnipresent these days - but not for the first time in history. As we look back, we feature strange treatments, an exhausted population, what people feared sex had to do with it, the horror of the trenches and a time in which the people and their nerves didn't seem to be able to keep up.
Tune in, share this episode with all of your friends and keep Science Pie going!
