Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Every day, millions of people rely on Prozac, Ritalin, Valium and other psychiatric drugs. But what are their limitations? How have they changed our outlook on mental illness? And what should we expect from the next generation of medications? A complex look at the simple chemicals that effect our thoughts and feelings.
