About this episode
This episode was recorded in January, 2025.
Dr. Mark McDonald is a psychiatrist and commentator. Along with Dr. Jeff Barke, his podcast Informed Dissent discusses mental and physical health, politics, and culture.
Mark joins Josh to talk about the explosion of Cluster B, narcissistic personality traits and behaviors in society, and how the mental health establishment not only doesn't recognize it, but is contributing to the prevalence of these behaviors.
We also discuss the effect of feminist and leftist ideologies on our collective mental health, and how these have upended traditional and sane understandings of good health, behavior, and personal responsibility.
