Dr. Andrew Kaufman on Psychiatry, Good and Bad Research, Treating Severe Mental Health, and More!

This week, we are honoured to have Dr. Andrew Kaufman on! We discussed Dr. Kaufman's experiences and observations as a psychiatrist. We talk about the problems in diagnoses and how they can act as a pseudo-understanding for individuals.

We discuss the flaws of looking at mental health conditions as brain pathology and emphasize the important note that mental health and physical health are not separate. We also highlight the problems with labeling individuals as abnormal.

We briefly discuss good and bad experiments in psychology. This leads into a discussion of some possible ways to treat severe mental health conditions. We also hear Dr. Kaufman's advice for people working in the mental health field.

I thoroughly enjoyed recording this episode! I hope you enjoy it!
