For the benefit of Future Readers (most likely Future Me), I've tracked down the episode.
It was the 28 October 2019 CBC Ideas episode "What Psychiatrists Still Don't Know About Mental Illness", in which Anne Harrington discusses her book, Mind Fixers. The case of syphilitic psychosis, "general paralysis of the insane", is discussed in chapter 1.
There are of course many other authors discussing syphilus and mental health, including Thomas Insell, Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health, discussed on the Ezra Klein podcast (and elsewhere).
