Episode Synopsis "Intro to Conceptualizing Mental Illness"
In this episode I compare the Categorical and Spectrum approaches to conceptualizing the difference between someone who has a mental illness, and someone who does not. Answer the prompt at the end of the video on my twitter, or website! Prompt: What would it be like if we didn't use diagnostic categories (Bipolar disorder, Schizoaffective disorder, etc) in the U.S mental health system. What could we gain, and what might go wrong? I'll read your answers next episode! Check out my website ttps://andrewinthegapyear.wixsite.com/aitgy and twitter https://twitter.com/AndrewITGYears.
