Are We Over-Diagnosing Our Kids? Rethinking ADHD, Autism, and the Search for Normal

What is mental health? What is a diagnosis? Are ADHD and autism genetic? And what happens to families when every struggle gets a label?

In this provocative conversation, veteran child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Sami Timimi challenges many widely held assumptions about children's distress, resilience, and the role of experts. You may not agree with everything you hear — but if you're willing to stay open and curious, you'll gain a radically different lens on big emotions, learn how to support children without immediately turning them into patients, and discover ways to nurture resilience and confidence in everyday life.
