Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Alexis Reid and Dr. Gerald Reid discuss the topic of perfectionism. This phenomenon has increased and impacted many over the past decade, especially for young people. Perfectionism spans the many mental health challenges for which individuals seek help. With the increase in points of comparison in the media and through social media, determining the difference between reality and fiction may be difficult to distinguish. The uptick in perfectionistic tendencies may be one explanation for the steep rise in mental health problems in the USA and abroad. This episode shares education on what perfectionism is, the adaptive and maladaptive aspects of perfectionism, and discusses what individuals can do to support those whose lives are negatively impacted by extreme levels of perfectionism.
