Mental Illness on Fire (a micro play)
<start scene>
Me: So a neuroscientist, a psychiatrist, and a tech entrepreneur walk into bar…
You: oh boy…
Me: …and it’s Thomas Insel, MD, who’s joining Redox for an event to answer:
• Why mental illness is more than a medical problem
• Digital tech’s role in mental recovery
• Three challenges mental health tech builders should tackle now
You: OK weird turn…but who is Thomas Insel, and why is he remotely qualified to speak on this topic?
Me: Glad you asked 🙂
