About this listen

In this episode I interview a clinical psychologist from Iran, Hasan Bashiri.


He has over a decade of experience working as a clinical psychologist, he has published articles on personality and anxiety, and has multiple books in his native language on topics of psychology.


We explore mental health differences between Iran and Australia, and how religion, culture, and stigma towards mental health differ and change approaches.
