Fergal Keane on living with  PTSD.  Daryl O'Connor's Covid and mental health research.

Fergal Keane on how going to war zones became an addiction  for him and  how he lives with PTSD. Also Professor Daryl O'Connor's research into Covid and mental health.

Fergal Keane describes living with PTSD. For thirty years, Fergal covered some of the most brutal wars for the BBC, including Rwanda, Iraq and Ukraine.

Despite having PTSD, he kept going, taking more and more risks until witnessing a massacre in Sudan, he realised he couldn't do it anymore, that for him going to war had become an addiction. He talks to Claudia about his ongoing work, recovering from PTSD.

Professor Daryl O'Connor's new research finds that people who got Covid-19 early in the pandemic were twice as likely to experience depressive symptoms than those who didn't.

And Dr Gillian Sandstrom on why men ask 2.4 more questions than women at conferences.
