I'm in the Guardian today, writing about the question of overdiagnosis of mental illness. I argue we need to stop seeing this as a binary yes/no question - is overdiagnosis happening or is the increase real? - and acknowledge that multiple things can be happening at once tinyurl.com/yzsey97c

theguardian.com

Are we really overdiagnosing mental illness?

It’s tempting to dismiss the proliferation of labels as a fad, but there’s more to this phenomenon than a simple culture-war reading allows

We think these findings highlight the bidirectional links between social relationships and emotion processing for conferring risk for mental health problems in adolescence. They might also be used to identify active ingredients for future transdiagnostic interventions
