In this episode of the podcast, David Bennett speaks with psychologist Dr. Alex Williams. They discuss Alex's journey through academia, the data examining whether there was an increase in mental health issues during the pandemic, the rise of online therapy, potential beneficiaries of therapy, the recent surge in self-diagnosed mental illnesses on social media and online platforms, drug use and abuse, trends in therapy, and practices in therapy that have gained or lost evidence-based support, such as EMDR, and much more.
