Misdiagnosed: When the System Gets It Wrong


Listen Later

What happens when the label doesn’t fit—or when it takes years to get the right one? In this conversation, Ash sits down with Dr. Erin Lofties, a trauma and domestic violence expert, to unpack the human side of misdiagnosis in mental health care. We dive into how misdiagnoses happen, what they cost us, and how to avoid them.

We also explore how to talk to your provider about reassessing a diagnosis (without being dismissed), why early intervention matters, and why the best outcomes happen when clients and counselors work together.

Whether you're navigating your own mental health journey or just want to understand the system better, this episode offers insight, validation, and resources.

Let’s clear the fog—together.
