If you or anyone you know is struggling please seek help. The mental health care system in the US is broken—and in this video, I’m explaining why you should think twice before telling your doctor you’re depressed. As a board-certified psychiatrist, I’ve seen first-hand how doctors often treat symptoms instead of investigating root causes like diet, trauma, or underlying health conditions.

Instead of masking symptoms with medications, we need to address the real issues causing emotional pain—through diet, therapy, and functional medicine. If you’re tired of being let down by mainstream mental health care, this video will give you the tools to take charge of your mental well-being. Although this video is critical about mental health services, they are essential in acute emergencies and often provide time for professionals and loved ones to develop a plan to keep you safe.
