Dr Julie Smith and Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan The Age of Diagnosis

From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. Is it a good thing we are all more aware or can a diagnosis, particularly a Googled self-diagnosis, do us more harm than good? The award-winning, leading neurologist, and author of The Age of Diagnosis, Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan and bestselling clinical psychologist Dr Julie Smith talk about how the boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn, the influence of social media narratives, especially on the young, and the pressures that puts on health practitioners. When should you trust yourself and when is the right time to seek help?
