The Overdiagnosis Dilemma

Is a diagnosis always the right answer? In this episode of Curie, we explore the growing debate around overdiagnosis, featuring neurologist Suzanne O’Sullivan’s provocative insights. As diagnostic rates for autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression soar, we ask: Are we better at recognizing real struggles—or have we redrawn the line between normal and abnormal? This episode challenges assumptions, shares stories like that of 24-year-old Darcy, and invites healthcare professionals to reconsider the purpose—and the impact—of diagnostic labels.
