Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen and sister & Clinical Psychology doctoral candidate Holly Rosen do a deep (and intensely personal) dive into mental health disorders and their prevalence in America today. Ricky and Holly address a number of topics in the fields of psychology and neuroscience including:
--Why more than half of all mental illness in America today goes undiagnosed and untreated...
--The root cause behind the over-diagnosis of ADHD in children...
--Why modern-day psychology tends to confuse personality traits and psychopathological disorders...
--Whether medication or therapy is the more effective method to manage mental illness, and finally...
--How living with anxiety disorders might actually enhance your life.
