For example, I get panic attacks when I drive on the freeway. But we haven\u2019t always done a good job in dealing with mental issues. We are only now starting to talk about it in any kind of meaningful way. It used to be that we only talked about it in whispers, or in private conversations, but never out in the open. Bestselling author Daniel Bergner says it\u2019s time to talk about the mind -and its mind of its own- and he does just that in his new book The Mind and the Moon. In our chat he talks about what we used to do to people dealing with mental challenges, what we know about drugs being used today (not much), and what exactly happens in a lobotomy. It\u2019s an eye-opening discussion that hopefully will encourage you to start a conversation with friends and family about mental health.
