Get Psyched

Neurotransmitters, Nervous Systems & Not Making Everything a Diagnosis


Listen Later

New year, same nervous system...and we’re checking in!

On this episode of Get Psyched, Lindsey kicks things off with a real-life New Year’s mental health check-in, a little pop culture banter (yes, Heated Rivalry 👀), and a deeper dive into what’s actually going on beneath our moods, motivation, and symptoms.

Lindsey shares her experience taking a neurotransmitter test and uses it as a jumping-off point for a bigger conversation: how biology, environment, and lived experience shape how we feel...without turning every symptom into a life-long label.

This episode is all about curiosity over judgment, context over pathology, and remembering that diagnoses are tools (not death sentences).

Today, the girls explore:

🎙️ A New Year’s mental health check-in (no pressure, just honesty)

🎙️ The cultural moment of Heated Rivalry

🎙️ Lindsey’s neurotransmitter test results and what they can (and can’t) tell us

🎙️ Why diagnoses are not fixed identities or forever stories

🎙️ How symptoms are often intelligent responses to our environment

🎙️ A non-pathologizing, compassionate lens on mental health and healing

If you’re tired of labeling yourself, over-analyzing every feeling, or assuming something is “wrong” with you, this conversation is your permission slip to zoom out, get curious, and breathe a little easier.

Listen in, get psyched, and start the year with understanding instead of self-judgment.
