In this episode, renowned psychologist and author of the new book, The Twentysomething Treatment, Dr. Meg Jay dives into the complexities of life in your twenties. Meg addresses the common struggles faced by young adults, such as anxiety, depression, and the overwhelming pressure to meet societal milestones. Ahead, Lindsey and Meg discuss the psychological phenomena known as the "liking gap" and the negative skew of the twenty-something brain.

Meg also offers alternative views on medication and overdiagnosis in young adults, touching on the significant role of meaningful relationships and skill-building during this decade. Meg reminds us that life does indeed improve with age, and the twenties are only just the beginning!
