About this listen

What if mental illness isn’t just a glitch but an evolutionary feature? In this episode of Extreme Brains, Sam, David, and James dive deep into the fascinating world of mental health from an evolutionary perspective. Could anxiety be an ancient survival tool? Is ADHD a relic of the hunter-gatherer mind? We’ll break down key conditions, from depression to schizophrenia, and explore how once beneficial traits can become maladaptive. Plus, we’ll shift the conversation from pathology to potential—rethinking mental health through resilience, neurodiversity, and the power of human adaptability. Tune in for a mind-expanding discussion that challenges everything you thought you knew about mental illness!
