Shownotes

How many people are walking around right now with diagnoses for ADHD, depression, anxiety or other similar conditions that are unnecessary and useless - with dodgy diagnoses?

In part 1 of The Diagnosis Obsession, we explore why the health system runs on diagnoses, why this biases how we understand health, and why ordinary health-system realities reveal the obvious problem.

Disclaimer: I am not qualified to diagnose or treat medical conditions.

Next listen: What is Psychology? (#143) ; My Depression Experience (#73)
