Episode 482. Stumbling Blocks in Healing: Curbing the Dangers of Mental Health Misdiagnoses


Listen Later

This week on The Radically Loved Podcast, Sarah Fay shares her experience of being diagnosed with six mental health disorders and finding no relief.

The internet has made diagnosing mental illnesses more accessible than ever. You can easily self-diagnose with a 20-item quiz posted on social media platforms. However, that should not be the case. Instead, a proper assessment with a mental health expert determines an accurate diagnosis, treatment, and medication path.
