In this episode I have the help of Andy Thomson MD and Paul Andrews Phd to help answer the question “what is the purpose of psychiatry”?
My guests lend the understanding of evolutionary psychology to the clinical approach of “symptoms” and their rationale strongly contrasts with the paradigm offered by our current clinical practices and diagnostic system. 
They expose the limitations of syndromic diagnoses and the damage caused by the divorce between psychiatry and psychology.
