Mental Illness and Generational Trauma: Science, Stigma, and Supporting Loved Ones
Generational trauma is the psychological and physiological effects that trauma can pass down through generations of families. But is generational trauma a life sentence, or can it be overcome? In this episode, we explore its impact on mental health with James Longman – journalist, ABC News chief international correspondent, and author of The Inherited Mind: A Story of Family, Hope, and the Genetics of Mental Illness. He shares insights from his research, his fight against stigma, and ways to support loved ones facing mental illness.
