Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today we're joined again by Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist and co-host of the "Radically Genuine" podcast, for part two of our conversation discussing where the field of psychology has gone wrong. We start out by asking the question: What do people mean when they say "chemical imbalance." We hear this phrase a lot in relation to clinical depression, but what does it mean, and is it even real? We look at the role of Big Pharma in marketing their own drugs to the public and discuss how the education system plays into the ever-growing culture of "mental illness" among children and teens. Then, what role does the field of psychology have when it comes to gender dysphoria, and how seriously is social media playing into it all? --- Timecodes: (00:43) What does "chemical imbalance" mean?
