  • Is selective mutism a part of autism? — Full Episode

    Is selective mutism a part of autism?

    No. They're two different conditions, even though people mix them up all the time. Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder: a child (or adult) talks easily in comfortable places but freezes and can't speak in others, like the classroom, a doctor's office, or ar

  • What childhood trauma causes avoidance? — Full Episode

    What childhood trauma causes avoidance?

    There isn't one specific kind. Abuse, neglect, growing up around violence or addiction, losing a parent, a frightening medical experience, or being bullied for years can all teach a child that the safest thing to do is steer clear.
    That lesson made sense at

  • What is the main cause of panic disorder? — Full Episode

    What is the main cause of panic disorder?

    Honest answer: researchers haven't found a single cause. It tends to come from a few things stacking up. Panic and anxiety can run in families. Some people have a more reactive stress response. And a first attack often lands during a rough season, like a lo

  • What causes generalized anxiety? — Full Episode

    What causes generalized anxiety?

    There isn't one cause. It's usually a combination of the genes you were born with, the temperament you've always had, and the stress life has put on you. It is not a weakness, and it's not something you brought on yourself.
    One way to picture it: three layers.

  • RSD and ADHD: Why One Short Text Can Wreck Your Whole Day

    This one is for the friend who apologizes three times in a single text.

    Does 'can we talk later?' from your boss make your stomach drop? Do you rewrite a simple email five times so nobody could possibly be annoyed? If so, you may find a term useful: rejection sensitive dysphoria, or RSD.

  • Guilt, Why, and What If: Grieving a Suicide Loss

    There's no right way to grieve someone who died by suicide.

    Some people want to talk about it constantly. Some can't say the word yet. Some go back to work the next week, and some can't get out of bed for a long time. All of that is part of normal grief.
    What often makes this loss different is the

  • Autistic Burnout vs. Depression: Why the Difference Matters

    Imagine someone who has held it together for years. Great at work, the friend who remembers birthdays, always 'fine.' Then one winter the energy just goes. Grocery stores become unbearable. Words come slower. A shower feels like a project.

  • Scanxiety: Living in Three-Month Increments After Cancer

    The hardest part of cancer, for a lot of people, starts after the last treatment.

    While you're in it, there's a plan. Appointments, a team, people showing up with casseroles. Then it ends, everyone exhales, and you're left alone with a follow-up schedule and a body you no longer fully trust.

  • Grieving the Body You Had: Adjustment After Diagnosis

    Something people with chronic illness say a lot: "I don't get to be sad about this. Other people have it worse."

    You do get to be sad about it. Grieving your old body is not self-pity. It's grief, and it behaves like grief — it comes in waves, it ambushes you in the grocery store, and it doesn't re
