This is the third episode in my series of “Diagnosing” where I, a licensed marriage and family therapist, analyze and, if necessary, diagnose fictional characters from TV and movies. In this episode I analyze and diagnose Michael Scott from The Office.


*Disclaimer: this podcast episode is just for entertainment, not meant to be used to diagnose and treat real people. Over-diagnosing is a big issue, so I am only analyzing and diagnosing based on how the character presents on television or in a movie, and if it warrants a diagnosis in my professional opinion.


TRIGGER WARNING:In this episode I do discuss difficult subject material such as depression, suicide, sexism, and harrassment in the workplace. Listen at your discretion.


This episode is simply for information and entertainment purposes. This episode is not a substitute for therapy.
