In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Sami Timimi, a retired child and adolescent psychiatrist, takes a critical look at modern psychiatric diagnosis—especially the explosive rise in ADHD and autism labels. Dr. Timimi challenges the mainstream narrative that these increases are driven by biology or environmental toxins, arguing instead that they stem from an expanding culture of diagnosis and ever-broader diagnostic criteria.

The conversation explores how the definition of “normal” in mental health has shifted over time, the consequences of pathologizing everyday behavior, and what this means for children, families, and schools. Dr. Timimi also offers practical guidance for parents navigating the world of neurodiversity, urging skepticism, nuance, and a re-examination of how society understands mental health.
