Join us as we review the staggering surge of Bipolar I and Bipolar II diagnoses in the post-drug era. We examine flaws in DSM criteria, uncover financial conflicts of interest, and discuss the overdiagnosis and overmedication rampant in psychiatry. Are normal mood fluctuations being pathologized? We explore the role of psychiatric drugs, their side effects, and the impact of nutrition and lifestyle on mood regulation. Ultimately, we advocate for informed consent and holistic approaches to mental health.

Dr. McFillin and Dr. Ahmad discuss what they have been witnessing in adolescent clients post-pandemic. Is phone addiction and social media, particularly platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok, harming teens' mental health, especially when it comes to body image, self-esteem, and social anxiety? This podcast episode explores this question, along with the concerning trend of self-diagnosis and labeling normal teenage experiences with mental health conditions. Are schools and emergency rooms equipped to properly evaluate and diagnose mental health issues in adolescents? And is there an overreliance on medication as a solution? A call for parental involvement, including setting boundaries around phone use is highlighted and a critical reevaluation of the current mental health system for teenagers. It’s time to move towards a more nuanced approach that validates teenagers' struggles and builds skills for living.
