👉 Adele Roberts is an award-winning broadcaster, author, and TV personality. In 2021 she was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Two years later, she completed her third marathon – her first one running with a stoma – and set the Guinness World Record as the fastest female with an ileostomy. Now she’s raising money for Cancer Research UK & The Attitude Magazine Foundation to help raise awareness of bowel cancer — the second biggest cancer killer in the UK – by tackling all six major World Marathons. In this episode, Adele tells Dr Hilary about her diagnosis, coming to terms with her stoma, and how running has helped with her mental health.

👉 Dr. Rob Cohen has been a psychiatrist for 30 years, treating people for a variety of conditions, but especially anxiety and depression. But how has treatment changed in that time? Is there any evidence that children today are less resilient than they once were?

Dr. Cohen reflects on how changes in modern life, including social media, affect our mental health. He also explains how anxiety is linked to the human survival instinct, the difference between trait and state anxiety, and whether there’s a place for antidepressants in treatment.
There’s also a brief guide to rare psychiatric syndromes, including De Clérambault’s syndrome, Folie à deux, and Capgras syndrome.
