SUMMARY
To celebrate the publication of his new book, Psycho-Logical, Dean Burnett joins the Royal Institution for a live talk about how and why the modern world affects the brain.

Join Dean as he looks at how these affects lead to so many mental health issues, the methods and complications around recognising and treating them, how our understanding has changed over the decades, and much more.

In this talk, Dean takes an in-depth and interesting look at the science which explains how and why our mental health goes awry.
