Fighting the Yips: The Life-Eroding Disorder
Often appearing in athletes, the yips are a condition where specific actions become difficult. They are also seen to occur in people of all walks of life, such as a barber suddenly unable to use a comb when doing haircuts, and a professional musician whose fingers don't respond as they used to. The patients' condition often worsens to a point where they are no longer able to work. Long viewed as solely psychological, the disorder has been found to also have neurological causes. We listen to the stories of patients, including an exclusive interview with former pro golfer Miyazato Ai, and discuss the latest treatments with a specialist in the field.
