Criminal Psychiatrist Discusses Extreme Cases / Diagnosis and Treatment of Personality Disorders

Dr Sohom Das is a consultant forensic psychiatrist and the host of the Youtube Channel 'A Psych for Sore Minds' where he discusses mental health topics and the crossroads between mental illness and offending.

He is author of the book, 'In Two Minds: Stories of Murder, Justice and Recovery from a Forensic Psychiatrist'

He joined me for a discussion about the world of forensic psychiatry, true crime, the diagnostic process and shares some of his anonymised cases (not for the faint hearted!)

We also discuss treatments for trauma, PTSD, narcissistic and borderline personality.
