Is psychiatry doing more harm than good?
In this episode, our guest speaker is Nick Fortino, a Psychology Professor at University of Silicon Valley and Gavilan College in the USA and host of the Psychology Is podcast.
We talk about the nature of mental health diagnosis and how it's history evolved into what we know today as biological mental disorders. We cover the history of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), classifications of disease and the efficacy of psychiatric drugs for conditions like depression, anxiety and more.
