Let The BBC Help You Answer This Important QuestionEpisode 1 – AddictionClinical psychologist Dr Tanya Byron asks if we are a society addicted to the idea of addiction. Hearing controversial views from those who believe we are in danger of absolving weak and selfish people from taking responsibility for their own choices, she asks how far we should we go with the concept of addiction. Should we believe someone who says they are a sex addict? Or the teenager who claims to be addicted to video games? Tanya examines some unconventional treatments.Episode 2 – Body ImageClinical psychologist Dr Tanya Byron asks why some of us are willing to starve ourselves, cut our flesh, and even break our bones to meet social pressures about what is normal when it comes to body image. How far are you willing to go to change the way you look? Tanya explores how some young and vulnerable people develop genuine psychiatric disorders based on a misperception about their body image that bring them near death.Episode 3 – SpiritualityDr Tanya Byron explores what some consider the fine line between religious devotion and psychiatric disorder. She sees what happens when rational scientists try to analyse religious phenomena like Speaking in Tongues and Hearing Voices. And she considers the beliefs of faith healers who claim miracles happen, and those who believe they can cast out the malevolent spirits of the dead from within the living.
