Why Is Queer Mental Health Worse Than Our Straight Counterparts? ft. June Lam of CAMH

Why Is Queer Mental Health Worse Than Our Straight Counterparts? ft. June Lam of CAMH

Friend, foe, or messy ex, what’s psychiatry’s role in queer lives? This week, we sit down with Dr. June Lam, psychiatrist and trans healthcare expert, to tackle mental health disparities, navigating family drama, unpacking shame, and surviving the holidays. Plus, we dive into the politics of medical transitions, debunk “fast-tracking” myths, and confront detransition discourse with science (and sass). Whether you’re queer, questioning, or just chronically anxious, this episode’s here to hold your glittery, overwhelmed hand.
