5.09 How Over-labeling Our Emotions Can Be Harmful with Deborah Lee Smith

  • Summary

  • In this mini solo episode of the More Than You See podcast, Deborah discusses the critical difference between feeling sad and being clinically depressed.


    Inspired by a New York Times article on Prevalence Inflation, the episode explores how society's increasing conversation around mental health, while positive, can also lead to misinterpretation of normal emotional experiences as mental health issues, particularly among young people.
