Professor Graeme Yorston
So many of the celebrated lives of writers, artists, composers and performers and so many key moments in human history have been affected by mental health issues. From the murderous madness of ancient kings and emperors to the internal torments of creative people struggling to be unique, this channel explores this fascinating, surprising and sometimes dark and uncomfortable world. Graeme Yorston brings his 30 years of clinical experience as a neuropsychiatrist and lifetime passion for history and the arts to present a wide range of biographical and historical documentaries that will challenge how you think about people with mental health problems or who are just different.
