"I was never mentally ill to begin with"

On the podcast, I speak with Carrie Clark about her experience with lifelong "mental illness" diagnoses

Carrie Clark thought she was ⁠mentally ill⁠ for her whole life—prescribed an endless cocktail of drugs to "treat" these supposed mental illnesses—until she realized that in fact she was… just fine. How many other people’s lives have been derailed by bunk mental health diagnoses and subsequent treatments? Is psychiatry a sham? What are more effective ways of dealing with life’s challenges?

Carrie is a researcher and public policy campaigner in the UK. I spoke with her about her experience.
