The Prevailing Narrative with Matt Bilinsky

Episode 52: ADHD Over-Diagnosis, "Safetysim", and the Cultural & Financial Factors Driving America's Mental Health Crisis - with Freddie DeBoer

Listen Later

Freddie DeBoer is one of my favorite writers and someone whose blunt yet thoughtful wisdom is sorely needed these days. Freddie joins me to discuss:

  • The explosion in ADHD diagnosis and prescription drugs such as Aderral and Ritalin.
  • How ADHD and other disorders have become "cultures" and "communities" that define people's identities
  • The role of pharmaceutical companies and bureaucratic rewards incentivizing claims of ADHD and other disorders
  • How "Safetyism" (the prioritization of emotional comfort over all things) is impeding solutions
  • Freddie's criticism of social shaming (i.e., "cancel culture") from a progressive, left-wing perspective 
  • The rage of the "creative underclass"
