Can anxiety, depression, OCD and other mental health diagnoses be viewed differently?

In this thought-provoking and deeply respectful conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson sits down with psychiatrist, author and speaker Dr Fred Moss, who spent more than four decades working in mental health before challenging many of the assumptions that underpin modern psychiatry. 

Dr Fred shares why he entered psychiatry despite disagreeing with much of the system, what led him to question diagnoses and medication, and why he believes that communication, connection and self-expression sit at the heart of human healing. 

Together, Jodi and Fred explore:
Why Dr Fred believes there may be "nothing wrong with you" 
The role of anxiety as part of the human experience 
Mental health diagnoses, identity and labels 
Medication, therapy and differing perspectives on treatment 
The importance of communication and authentic human connection 
The "Moss Method" and practices that support wellbeing 
Creativity, self-expression and finding your true voice
Why suffering is a universal part of being human 

This conversation presents one clinician's perspective and is designed to encourage curiosity, reflection and discussion. It is not intended as medical advice.
