Ever wonder if your daily anxiety is a medical condition, or just... life? Welcome to the podcast where we tackle everyday problems while allowing a careful assessment. Then allow a diagnosis to develop as clinically appropriate.

Today, we are talking about the role of care in mental health and along the way, we will explore the tendency sometimes to over-medicalize our feelings. We use words like "trauma," "OCD," and "bipolar" to describe normal human reactions to stress, bad days, and big life transitions. But who can help us draw the line between a normal emotional experience and an actual clinical disorder? Welcome to the podcast Nurse Practitioner Dr. Kayla Thomas.
