014 The Role of Psychology

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Psychology could be playing an enormous role in understanding what we are. And yet it's falling short, and that fact is contributing to the mental health crisis that we are finding ourselves in.The statistics are dire: in the last 20 years, antidepressant use in the U.S. has increased fourfold. 25% of people in Europe now suffer from depression or anxiety. Worldwide, depression is now the #1 cause of disability. 300 million people suffer from anxiety and $8 billion a year are spent on mental health medication.

There is clearly something wrong. It shouldn't be the case that human bodyminds need medication to live and flourish. So what's going on? In this episode, we’re going to look at what psychology is, its shortcomings and ways to overcome them.

-What psychology is and how it currently looks at identity
