The Parallel a Neurosurgeon Sees Between Tumours and Strained Minds

Sasi S Senga writes in Psyche from two positions at once — neurosurgeon and son — and says that combination has led him to see parallel processes underlying growing tumours and stressed-out minds. The pairing is worth pausing on. One belongs to oncology, the other to mental health, and they are usually discussed in entirely separate registers. Senga's move is to notice the shared shape: something building underneath, whatever name the department gives it.
