Is TikTok actually helping people understand neurodivergence, or is it just fueling a wave of self-diagnoses? In this no-BS, unfiltered first episode of Brain Trash, we’re tackling the big debate about social media and self-diagnosis.
We’re Maria Ingalla and Tabitha Arey, psychiatric nurse practitioners who are super tired of the outdated approach to mental health. We’re here to dive into:
- The real reason so many people are turning to TikTok for answers
- How the system is screwing over neurodivergent people (especially women & queer folks)
- Why psych screenings can get it so wrong
- The dangers of blindly throwing meds at symptoms instead of getting to the root cause
- What clinicians AND patients need to know in navigating this mess
If you’re a clinician tired of outdated psych takes, a med-nerd who loves dark humor, or just someone who’s been told “you can’t possibly have ADHD/autism”, you’re in the right place.
