KEY POINTS

A study suggests that mental health programs in schools might make some kids confuse normal emotions with mental health issues. On ‘Psychology Behind the Headlines,’ hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest therapist Ryan Heapy discuss the balance between raising awareness and the potential dangers of over-diagnosis.

Overemphasis on Mental Health

While it’s important to destigmatize mental health talk, the sheer amount of information out there can be confusing, especially for teens.

Beware of Online “Experts”

Many online coaches and therapists simplify complex psychological issues into catchy soundbites, which can lead to misdiagnosis.

Seek Credible Sources

It’s crucial to choose reliable mental health information sources, ideally from trained mental health professionals and backed by research.
