Read a blog-post, written by BCN-AIM’s Director; Karim Lekadir, published by our EarlyCause project partners on their blog, Inspirethemind.
Karim shares a story about: “Beautiful, healthy minds? Mathematics and mental health beyond the stereotypes”
“A beautiful mind” is the title of the critically acclaimed, unauthorized biography of the mathematician John Nash, who famously made great contributions to mathematics, in particular in game theory, while battling paranoid schizophrenia for decades and spending long periods of time in psychiatric hospitals.
