In this episode, I dive deep into the growing issue of mental health misdiagnoses and the devastating effects they can have on people’s lives. From the dangers of overgeneralized labels to the lasting impact of being misdiagnosed, I explore how both patients and doctors can easily fall into the trap of getting it wrong. Racial and gender biases often play a role in these missteps, leading to disproportionately harmful outcomes, which has been severly under reported . This episode highlights the systemic issues in mental healthcare, why misdiagnoses are so prevalent, and what we can do to start addressing this hidden crisis. It’s a topic that impacts millions but remains largely overlooked.
