Korku biz insanlığın hayatta kalmasını sağlayan en kritik duygulardan birisi. Belki de türümüzün devamlılığını buna borçluyuz. Fakat korku, yanımızdaki insanlardan bize de sirayet edebilen bir şey. Daha da kötüsü bu duygunun bulaşıcı özelliği, toplumu kontrol edebilmek için bir araca da dönüşebiliyor. Fakat bir panzehrimiz de var, cesaret. 111 Hz'in bu bölümünde insan davranışları üzerine düşünüyoruz. Korku ve cesaretin bulaşıcı etkilerine ve bunların nasıl yayıldığına odaklanıyoruz.Sunan: Barış ÖzcanHazırlayan: Özgür YılgürSes Tasarım ve Kurgu: Metin BozkurtYapımcı: Podbee MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today I am talking with one of the pioneers of evolutionary medicine and evolutionary psychiatry, Professor Randolf Nesse. We discuss what evolution has to do with modern day psychiatry and how knowledge of evolution's influences on someone's mental health informs Prof Nesse's ability to help his patients. We learn whether our quest for happiness is merely a distraction. Is mental illness a result of nature or nurture or indeed a little of both? Expect to learn that low mood isn't always bad. We discover what the smoke detector principle is. We ask what the purpose of human emotion is ? We discuss whether society is suffering from more mental health problems today than our during our ancestors time. Expect to hear Prof Nesse's thoughts on stoicism and what his hopes are for the future of psychiatry. https://www.randolphnesse.com/

For insight, we welcome: Randolph Nesse, emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan, and author of "Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry; Maryanne Fisher, professor of psychology at Saint Mary's University in Halifax; and Paul Andrews, professor of evolutionary psychology at McMaster University.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everybody's talking about mental health these days. That's, by and large, a good thing. But did you ever wonder why the incidence of diagnosed depression has been skyrocketing even as we talk more openly about our mental and emotional issues? What's going on?  That's what I talk to retired professor emeritus Dr. Allan Horwitz about. Dr. Horwitz has tilted at the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) windmill with books like All We Have to Fear: Psychiatry's Transformation of Normal Anxieties into Mental Disorders (2012) and The Loss of Sadness: How Psychiatry Transformed Normal Misery into Depressive Disorder (2007). It was that 2007 book that caught my eye recently. In it, Dr. Horwitz and Dr. Jerome Wakefield argue that in the late 20th century, the psychiatric community chose to remove context from its depression diagnoses. Despite centuries (millennia even) of ancient thought and modern psychiatric approaches to anxiety, sorrow and depression that poignantly considered and recognized how great sadness could be an orderly, normal response to terrible circumstances (romantic breakup, divorce, death, illness and other rough life events), American diagnosticians chose in editions of the famous and widely used DSM to ignore almost all context for painful episodes of sadness (save a short period of time for grief after the death of a loved one).  Drs. Horwitz and Wakefield made the pitch to the psychology and medical community that terrible sadness sometimes might be a normal, healthy response in some cases, not a disordered response needing immediate medical intervention … and, of course, pills.  To boil it down: Sometimes you feel bad about life, but you should feel bad about life, because life, in that moment, is bad and hard and hurtful. You may not be crazy! You may be functional and responding appropriately to crappy things. He's not saying all the people with diagnosed anxiety disorders, depression or trauma should not seek help. He's saying in some cases, if he had his way, he would counsel “watchful waiting” for medical health professionals to see whether things improve with changes in life circumstances.  Did the psychiatric community listen for later editions to consider more context in diagnosing Major Depressive Disorder? Listen and find out …   Caveat: Nowhere is Dr. Horwitz saying people with mental illness or struggling with mental problems should not seek help. He's only saying we might not be doing the best service to individuals in need of help—either psychiatric, medicinal, psychological, etc.—if we are diagnosing too many people with more severe mental illness than they actually have.  To Feed Further Curiosity:  A fairly comprehensive listing for Dr. Horwitz's journal articles and books appears here. Other interesting stand-outs besides the two referenced earlier for non-academic readers who are deeply interested in the topic could also include What's Normal?: Reconciling Biology and Culture and Anxiety: A Short History. All of Horwitz's works are accessible to laypeople but are deeply researched enough and often focused towards clinicians wrestling with the big picture of “Who's sick?” and “How do we know it?” and “Are we using the right tools or benchmarks to assess the difference between normal, painful psychic pain and mental disorders?”   Also recommended by Dr. Horwitz is the book Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights Into the Frontiers of Evolutionary Psychology by Dr. Randolph Nesse. Dr. Horwitz says the book is very accessible and covers many of the hypotheses and new ideas that have come out of theories that try to figure out how our current feelings might have developed over the millennia, what they might be trying to do, and how they might be supporting or sabotaging us in the modern world today. 

Randolph Nesse's second interview covers anxiety of all kinds; why are humans so vulnerable to it, where it is helpful and harmful, and his experience treating patients with anxiety whilst informed by an evolutionary perspective. This episode is based on a chapter titled 'Anxiety Disorders in Evolutionary Perspective', authored by Randolph Nesse. It is chapter 7 in the book 'Evolutionary Psychiatry: Current Perspectives on Evolution and Mental Health", published by Cambridge University Press. The video form of this episode is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Y98HdH2zsBA The book is available for purchase here: via Cambridge University Press: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/evolutionary-psychiatry/2A1862AA7A2D78F946A34475D98425EB via Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evolutionary-Psychiatry-Current-Perspectives-Evolution/dp/1316516563/ You can follow Adam Hunt on Twitter @RealAdamHunt and Randolph Nesse @RandyNesse

Randolph Nesse considers why humans are so vulnerable to mental disorders of all kinds. Evolution hasn't shaped us to be happy, or healthy, and there are all sorts of reasons why our minds veer into the states we call disorder. He also notes the usefulness of this perspective for clinicians and patients. This episode is based on a chapter titled 'Why Do Mental Disorders Persist? Evolutionary Foundations for Psychiatry', authored by Randolph Nesse. It is chapter 6 in the book 'Evolutionary Psychiatry: Current Perspectives on Evolution and Mental Health", published by Cambridge University Press. The book is available for purchase here via CUP or on Amazon. You can follow Adam Hunt on Twitter @RealAdamHunt and Randolph Nesse @RandyNesse

In the podcast we discuss with Dr Randolph Nesse his foundational and pioneering work in evolutionary medicine and his work with patients. He talks with his patients and explains to them that, in many cases, their disorders are not a disease or some kind of failing, as they have been told by other practitioners, but rather a natural and inherently useful response that has “gone overboard”. Evolution makes women on average twice as prone to excessive anxiety as men for good reason. Nesse reports that patients who experience panic attacks are invariably “normalised and empowered” by such a perspective.Similarly, those who experience prolonged low mood may be, if not comforted or cured, then perhaps illuminated by the notion that their state of mind has a role to play in Darwinian terms. Nesse presents the evidence to show that the mechanisms of despair have evolved to force us to realign our goals and desires: we would never be forced to make positive choices to influence our circumstances were it not for the anger at loss in our lives or the pain of not reaching our goals.Randolph M. Nesse, MD is Research Professor of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, where he became the Founding Director of the Center for Evolution Medicine in 2014.  He was previously Professor of Psychiatry and Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan where he led the Evolution and Human Adaptation Program and helped to establish one of the first anxiety disorders clinics.  His research on the neuroendocrinology of anxiety evolved into studies on why aging exists. Those studies led to collaboration with the evolutionary biologist George Williams on Why We Get Sick: The New Science of Darwinian Medicine, a book that initiated much new work in the field of evolutionary medicine. His research is on how selection shapes mechanisms that regulate defenses such as pain, fever, anxiety and low mood, and how social selection shaped human capacities for morality.  His larger mission is to establish evolutionary biology as a basic science for medicine.  Dr. Nesse is the Founding President of the International Society for Evolution, Medicine & Public Health, a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Sciences, and an elected Fellow of the AAAS. His new book, Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry shows how asking evolutionary questions about why mental disorders exist can make psychiatry more effective. Bio for Randolph M.

Why do I feel bad? There is real power in understanding our bad feelings. With his classic Why We Get Sick, Dr. Randolph Nesse helped to establish the field of evolutionary medicine. Now he returns with Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry (Dutton, 2019), a book that transforms our understanding of mental disorders by exploring a fundamentally new question. Instead of asking why certain people suffer from mental illness, Nesse asks why natural selection has left us all with fragile minds. Drawing on revealing stories from his own clinical practice and insights from evolutionary biology, Nesse shows how negative emotions are useful in certain situations yet can become overwhelming. Anxiety protects us from harm in the face of danger, but false alarms are inevitable. Low moods prevent us from wasting effort in pursuit of unreachable goals, but they often escalate into pathological depression. Other mental disorders, such as addiction and anorexia, result from the mismatch between modern environment and our ancient human past. And there are good evolutionary reasons for sexual disorders and for why genes for schizophrenia persist. Taken together, these and many more insights help to explain the pervasiveness of human suffering and show us new paths for relieving it by understanding individuals as individuals.

Other mental disorders, such as addiction and anorexia, result from the mismatch between modern environment and our ancient human past. And there are good evolutionary reasons for sexual disorders and for why genes for schizophrenia persist. Taken together, these and many more insights help to explain the pervasiveness of human suffering and show us new paths for relieving it by understanding individuals as individuals.

Why do I feel bad? There is real power in understanding our bad feelings. With his classic Why We Get Sick, Dr. Randolph Nesse helped to establish the field of evolutionary medicine. Now he returns with Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry (Dutton, 2019), a book that transforms our understanding of mental disorders by exploring a fundamentally new question. Instead of asking why certain people suffer from mental illness, Nesse asks why natural selection has left us all with fragile minds. Drawing on revealing stories from his own clinical practice and insights from evolutionary biology, Nesse shows how negative emotions are useful in certain situations yet can become overwhelming.

Many clinicians are increasingly of the view that an evolutionary lens is essential for a true and deep understanding of the conceptualization and ultimately treatment of mental illness. Dr. Randolph Nesse, MD, one of the founders of evolutionary psychiatry and author of the book Good Reasons for Bad Feelings sits down with host Dr. Pete Kelly, C.Psych to discuss a wide range of topics including the principles of evolutionary medicine and psychiatry; the impact of an evolutionary lens on the conceptualization of mental illness; considerations of dynamics related to the genetics of mental illness; helpful as well as unhelpful aspects of unpleasant emotions, particularly with respect to depression; the impact of repeated exposure to stress on mental health; the impact of clinical content on mental health professionals; considerations around medication from the view of an evolutionary psychiatrist and finally, achieving a sense of meaning in modernity. Randolph M. Nesse, MD, is a founder of the field of evolutionary medicine and co-author with George C. Williams of Why We Get Sick. He served for many years as Professor of Psychiatry, Professor of Psychology and Research Professor at the University of Michigan. He was the Founding Director of the Center for Evolution & Medicine at Arizona State University and Foundation Professor in the School of Life Sciences from 2014 to 2019, where he is now a Research Professor. He is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, a distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and an elected Fellow of the AAAS.https://www.randolphnesse.com

Randolph Nesse (@randynesse) is the founding director of the Center for Evolution Medicine at Arizona State University and author of Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry. What We Discuss with Randolph Nesse: What possible purpose do anxiety, depression, and anger serve from an evolutionary standpoint? Why the body's mechanisms for keeping us safe often overreact, and what we can do to get a handle on them when they work a little too well. The evolutionary upsides to worrying about what other people think of us. Why natural selection shapes our behavior toward reproduction rather than health and longevity. Why do women often go for the reckless mate instead of the safe mate -- and why do men stick around at all? And much more...

In closing of the first session on SDGs and international development, a panel discussion and a session to answer and raise new questions is being held. Roopa Dhatt, Chair of the first session, moderates the discussion, while accompanied by Detlev Ganten, Alex Harris, Randolph Nesse, Mujaheed Shaikh and Marisol Touraine. As an introduction, the latter, who is on the Executive Board of Unitaid in Geneva, gives a speech and raises attention to the fact that although we are facing progress regarding global health, still, half of the world's population does not have access to full health coverage. Even in developed countries, one can experience a lack of primary health care centres, which is why SDG and good health for all will gain importance for the present and future.

Thank you all for this great first week of fundraising. It was great, but I still need more support. I would love to keep doing it for another 2 years, but to be honest, I am broke. For these past two years, I have brought on the show some of the top academics/scholars in a diversity of fields, like Psychology, Anthropology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and even Literary Studies. Some of the biggest names that appeared throughout my 300 interviews include: Noam Chomsky, Jerome Kagan, Randy Thornhill, Dale Purves, Michael Ruse, David Buss, Simon Blackburn, Alexander Rosenberg, Terrence Deacon, Richard Shweder, Diane Halpern, Robert Plomin, David Sloan Wilson, Richard Wrangham, Azar Gat, David C. Geary, Leda Cosmides, Todd Shackelford, Diana Fleischman, Don Ross, Gad Saad, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, Patricia Churchland, David Barash, Peter Singer, Martin Daly, David Benatar, Paul Slovic, Glenn Geher, Lars Penke, Kevin Mitchell, Randolph Nesse, Bo Winegard, Cory Clark, Peter DeScioli, Daniel Nettle, Steve Stewart-Williams, Paul Slovic, Robert Trivers, Helen Fisher, Richard Haier, Nicole Barbaro, Pascal Boyer, Steven Hayes, Lee Cronk, Chris Stringer, Lyn Wadley, Donald Hoffman, Cecilia Heyes, Nicholas Humphrey, Indre Viskontas, Nicholas Christakis, Daniel Lieberman, Marco Del Giudice, Peter Ungar, Alice Eagly, Daniel Everett, Susan Pinker, and many others. On my show, you can certainly find informative, well-researched, engaging, and fun interviews on topics that will feed your intellectual interest. My income for these past two years has depended completely on the donations made by my charitable patrons and Paypal supporters, but, unfortunately, it is not enough. In today's society, scientific literacy is ever more important, and, hopefully, I have been contributing to spread knowledge outside of academia in a format that I try my best to be accessible even to laypeople.

In his lecture, Randolph Nesse from Arizona State University discusses the relation of Evolutionary Biology and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and particularly, how it can be used to improve global health. Thus, he does not raise the question why individuals get sick at all but rather, why the whole humankind is vulnerable. What is the role of evolutionary biology within the biology-environment-lifestyle-complex for our health – especially regarding disease prevention and health preservation? To what extend must evolutionary biology be taken into consideration? And eventually, in how far could illnesses be prevented and health in general improved?

Experiences of mental illness are common in the United States and behind each individual case is a history. In his book, Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry, Randolph Nesse, the director of the Center for Evolution and Medicine at Arizona State University, looks at emotional and mental disorders from an evolutionary perspective, and considers why natural selection left us with fragile minds.

In this episode of Simplify, Caitlin asks Randolph Nesse why he believes that humans have evolved to experience hardships such as depression, anxiety and grief. As it turns out, while many of our most painful emotions often do not serve a proper function in our modern world, they may have a history that allowed for our ancestors to survive. Randolph Nesse is a Professor and Founding Director of The Center for Evolution and Medicine at Arizona State University. His decades of experience in a clinical setting have informed his research and commitment to furthering our understanding of modern psychology through the study of evolution. He has written a handful of books covering topics such as bereavement, depression, interpersonal relationships, and his latest book, Good Reasons for Bad Feelings, connects all of these with Evolutionary Psychiatry. He has devoted his career to bringing insights from evolutionary biology into our practice of medicine today.

He's also the author of several books, including Why We Get Sick (coauthored with George C. Williams) and, more recently, Good Reasons for Bad Feelings (2019). In this episode, we focus mostly on Dr. Nesse's most recent book. We first talk about the field of Evolutionary Medicine, and refer specifically to phenomena like antagonistic pleiotropy and aging, evolutionary mismatch and modern disease, and if we should approach diseases as adaptations. We then move on to discussing issues in Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology; the classification of mental disorders; studying emotions from an evolutionary perspective; and the Smoke Detector Principle. We talk about depression, and how we haven't evolved to feel good or experience wellbeing. In the latter part of the interview, we discuss Psychoanalysis and the self-defense mechanisms, and also if people can benefit from learning about how their minds operate, from an evolutionary standpoint. -- Follow Dr. Nesse's work: Faculty page: http://bit.ly/2GEaNMi Personal website: http://bit.ly/2ypzUyf Website for Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: http://bit.ly/331I9hZ Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry: https://amzn.to/2GBYQXA -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORDE, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, JOHN CONNORS, AND ADAM KESSEL!

How far does evolution explain mental health? The psychiatrist Randolph Nesse tells Kirsty Wark that negative emotions make sense in certain situations but can become excessive. He argues that positioning disorders in light of natural selection helps explain the ubiquity of human suffering - and may help in finding new paths for relieving it. The neuropsychologist AK Benjamin investigates the boundaries of sanity and madness in his book, Let Me Not Be Mad. Through a series of consultations with patients, he explores the mind unravelling at the seams. But the question remains whether this unravelling mind belongs to the doctor or the patient. The poet George Szirtes looks at the damaging impact of international events on a single family, in his memoir of his mother Magda. The Photographer At Sixteen follows Magda from her teenage life in Hungary, through political uprisings, internment in two concentration camps and transition to life in England. He explores the effect of an unravelling world on a family's mental health. Producer: Katy Hickman

Geoff Watts meets researchers looking for clues to the origins of depression as a way of finding new solutions to treating it. In the first of two programmes Geoff talks to the father of evolutionary medicine, Randolph Nesse and asks why hasn't natural selection made us less vulnerable to psychological diseases? Could it be that depression is in some way useful to our lives?(Image: A depressed young boy. Credit: Science Photo Library)

Evolutionary physician Professor Randolph Nesse explores the idea of 'Darwin's eye', and discusses what evolution means for our bodies, our emotions and our behaviour - as well as the disturbing implications of this view of the world.
