131. Manufacturing Bipolar Disorder
About this episode
Join us as we review the staggering surge of Bipolar I and Bipolar II diagnoses in the post-drug era. We examine flaws in DSM criteria, uncover financial conflicts of interest, and discuss the overdiagnosis and overmedication rampant in psychiatry. Are normal mood fluctuations being pathologized? We explore the role of psychiatric drugs, their side effects, and the impact of nutrition and lifestyle on mood regulation. Ultimately, we advocate for informed consent and holistic approaches to mental health.
