Consultant Psychiatrist Hisham Ziauddeen

Welcome back to you, my favourite listener! I’m so glad you’ve made the time to drop in to the walk a mile in my shoes podcast while our lovely country’s in the grips of the wordle pandemic. I’m your host, Chris Young, and in this episode, I’ll be speaking with the delightful Hisham Ziauddeen, a consultant psychiatrist, Dad and occasional stand up comedian. I got in touch with him after seeing his succinct 51 tweet thread on twitter, entitled 

‘The problematic diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)’. After reading it, I really liked the cut of his jib (note to self, one day I really must look up what that means) thinking, what a fabulous person he’d be to drag…coerce…er…invite onto the podcast. I loved having him on the show. We talk about and dance around many of the challenges that are around for mental health punters and practitioners in the UK – by the end of it, I think you’ll have some idea what it’s like to walk a mile in his shoes. Here are some of his links so you can get to know him a bit better. 

You can find him on Twitter @HZiaudeen

Here's a link I found about him - including a bit of his stand up routine 'The Psychiatrist who does stand up'
