What if Much of What you Thought you Knew About Mental Health was up for Debate?

What if Much of What you Thought you Knew About Mental Health was up for Debate?

Hello and welcome to the Mad in America: Rethinking Mental Health podcast.

If you are new here, hello. My name is James and I will be your host as we ask critical questions about the state of psychiatry and psychology in the 21st Century.

In this podcast, we examine mental health with a critical eye by speaking with psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers, journalists and people with lived experience.

When you hear such conversations, you realise that much of what is believed to be settled in mental health is actually up for debate. Is mental health a matter of faulty biology or is there more to it? Are the treatments used in psychiatry helpful or harmful in the long term? Are psychiatric diagnoses reliable? With the help of our guests, we examine these questions and so much more.

I think you will find the podcast insightful, informative, and, most of all, thought-provoking. It's available on all major podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple or Google podcasts and YouTube. Just search for Mad in America: Rethinking Mental Health.

Please join us for these important conversations.
