Episode description
This episode takes a closer look at how the trauma diagnosis has changed — and what that change reveals about psychiatry, culture, and identity. We examine how PTSD became one of the most widely claimed conditions in modern mental health. It’s a deep dive into where the field started, where it is now and the direct consequences that has on patients.
