Today, I'm joined by James Longman, an award-winning journalist and author of The Inherited Mind, for a deeply personal and powerful conversation about mental illness, family history, and the complexities of healing.James opens up about his father's struggles with schizophrenia and suicide, and how that experience shaped his own battles with depression and anxiety. Writing his latest book—a deeply personal exploration of his family's history—was both cathartic and incredibly challenging, forcing him to confront his past while also trying to make sense of mental illness in a wider context.We also discuss the stigma that still surrounds mental health, the complexities of diagnosis and treatment, and the role of medication and community-based care. But more than anything, this conversation is about humanising mental illness, understanding it beyond labels, and recognizing the real people behind these experiences.It's a raw, thought-provoking discussion, and I'm so grateful to James for sharing his story.Find James:Instagram: @jamesaalongmanBuy his book: https://amzn.eu/d/fzUO5B5 Hosted on Acast.

He has covered middle east conflicts, royal deaths and papal appointments.In his memoir, 'The Inherited Mind: A Story of Family, Hope and the Genetics of Mental Illness', James examines his own mental health issues in the context of his family.  When James was young his father, struggling with depression and schizophrenia, sadly took his own life. As an adult, James began to question if his own bouts of depression were related and if by learning about his father, he could learn about himself. In this episode I discuss James' thought-provoking book, what he learnt personally, and what scientific research is teaching us about 'The Inherited Mind'.I'm an adolescent and adult chartered psychologist for the past two decades.

JVN sits down with journalist and author James Longman to explore one of the most fascinating questions in mental health: can you inherit trauma? Drawing from his deeply personal journey and his new book The Inherited Mind, James unpacks the science behind genetic predisposition, epigenetics, and the interplay between nature and nurture. Together, they explore how trauma shapes our brains, why mental illness remains so stigmatized, and whether healing can be passed down just as much as hardship. James shares his own family's history, the groundbreaking research that's reshaping our understanding of mental illness, and the hopeful innovations that might change how we address treatment in the future. James Longman has been a foreign correspondent for ABC news since 2017. Based in London, his work takes him all over the world -- to date, more than 45 countries and counting. He has covered some of the most important international events of our time. He was in Moscow when Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and spent a month reporting from the Russian capital with the situation deteriorating by the day. He then spent more than 12 weeks in Ukraine and was one of the first reporters to see firsthand the horrors in Bucha. From the fight against the Islamic State group on the Syrian front line, confronting Chechen authorities about abuses against LGBTQ+ people, terror attacks across Europe and further abroad to tagging humpback whales in the Antarctic, Longman has one of the most varied briefs in American network news.

Having reported from over sixty countries, from the front lines of wars in Ukraine and Syria to the wilds of the Antarctic, ABC News Chief International Correspondent James Longman has witnessed the extremes of human existence firsthand. But the story that has stayed with him the longest is closer to home. In his new memoir, The Inherited Mind, James applies his journalistic skills to explore a family legacy marked by mental illness, and the science and people that shape us. James was just a preteen at boarding school when his father, who struggled with depression and schizophrenia, died by suicide. His uncle was also diagnosed with schizophrenia, and his grandfather also ended his life. As James grew older, his own battles with depression led him to examine how his father's mental health might have influenced his own. Drawing on conversations with leading experts, he delves into the science of inheritance, the impact of environment on genetic predispositions, and how one can overcome a familial history of mental illness and trauma. On January 30, James was joined in conversation with longtime friend, barrister and broadcaster Rob Rinder for a powerful discussion on family, resilience, and frontline reporting, live at the Kiln Theatre in London. --------- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

In this episode, we welcome a superstar in the world of television, James Longman, who until recently, guided the Late Late Show with James Corden to become one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. We've all heard of CarPool Karaoke, right? It's an amazing format where James Corden interviews stars - usually pop stars - in his car under the premise that he's driving them to work and they sing along. Really fun. But that format came out of the brain of the producers of The Late Late Show with James Corden, an office in which James Longman played a significant role. As you'll hear, long before James set out his stall in LA exec producing global superstars, like Tom Cruise, Kerry Washington, Natalie Portman, John Legend, Paul McCartney - the list goes on and on and on and on - James followed his passion for old films and media, beginning his career as a runner on a show called the Ozone after finishing a media course at Sunderland University.  James then went on to work at MTV, working his way up from work experience to leading large productions with some of the biggest presenters and bands in the world. As the years progressed, James realised that he thrived working in comedy based shows, and his road to the heights of The Late Late Show was set.   James admits that he's most comfortable behind the camera and a lot of his early success was down to luck because he lived in London.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Behind the Headlines with Headlines Network

Hannah Storm and John Crowley speak with ABC correspondent James Longman.  In this episode James talks about the sense of responsibility he feels towards those he interviews, in particular the impact on them of being asked to relive often traumatic experiences, and the risks they take in sharing their stories. He recounts some of the devastating experiences of people he has met during his war reporting and what happened when he came out to a Chechen Police Chief who had been spearheading the persecution of homosexuality in Chechnya.  James tells John and Hannah how he copes with the pressures of social media, and how he manages to show a side of himself that's separate from his journalism, while at the same time protecting his mental health.  He also shares his own story, one that has seen him investigate his family's history of mental ill health, after the suicides of his father and grandfather, and he speaks openly about his experiences of depression and illness. In doing so, he underscores the importance of being able to speak more openly about issues relating to mental health and how hearing the stories of others has helped him feel less alone. Content warning: this episode deals with the issue of suicide and contains accounts of covering war zones that listeners may find traumatic.
