Podcast: How Heartbeat Perception is Affected in Different Mental Health Conditions

This podcast discusses a recent study that tested how heartbeat perception might be affected within several different mental health conditions. The results suggested that, in depression, anxiety, substance use, and eating disorders, the brain may be less flexible in how it processes signals received from the body. This could be one reason for the emotional difficulties experienced by individuals with these conditions.
