Infinities Podcast by Boen Wang

I thought the latest episode of Radiolab might be of interest to this group. It deals with a young man experiencing bipolar disorder for the first time in a toxic work environment during a team building weekend. The thing I found fascinating was trying to figure out how much of his mental health decline was real and how much was a consequence of his toxic work environment convincing him he was unwell due to his reluctance to conform to their norms. When work environments have a never ending desire to squeeze their staff more and more to increase their bottom line it makes you wonder is it even possible to maintain a healthy mind when your work gets to define what normal behaviour is and what is crazy? It's well worth a listen of you have a spare hour. http://www.wnycstudios.org/story/infinities/
