I think sometimes our conversation- the reason why it goes to pill shaming and big pharma is bad, which you know, that's a deserved reputation that they have- is that we're skipping the real problem, which is that dsm diagnoses are too easy to receive and are being given out too easily.
Ever wondered if your mental health diagnosis truly fits? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Sarah Fay, an author and activist, to discuss her eye-opening book, *Pathological: A True Story of Six Misdiagnoses*. Sarah shares her personal journey through a maze of mental health diagnoses, shedding light on the often unreliable and inconsistent nature of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
Her candid revelations question the validity of the chemical imbalance theory and highlight the dangers of over-prescribing medications. If you've ever felt lost in the world of mental health labels, this episode offers a fresh perspective and some much-needed clarity. Tune in for an engaging conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and offers new ways to think about mental health.
