Proud to partner with the Jewish Chronicle Oliver Kamm: Mending the Mind
Oliver Kamm
More than a fifth of the UK population report symptoms of depression or anxiety. Yet how much do we really know of the condition and of ways to treat it? In his candid but hopeful Mending the Mind, Times leader writer and columnist Oliver Kamm recounts what it’s like to be mentally ill with severe depression and details the route by which he was able to make a recovery. He explains the progress of science in understanding depression, and the insights into the condition that have been provided by writers and artists through the ages. He will be in conversation with Spectator assistant editor and Natural Health Service author Isabel Hardman.
