Suzanne O’Sullivan (The Age of Diagnosis: How Our Obsession with Medical Labels Is Making Us Sicker) is a neurologist, clinical neuropsychologist, and award-winning writer. Suzanne joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why epilepsy is a very neglected area of medicine, that we can change the quality of our movements and how our body feels by our scrutiny of them, and how contagious collapse phenomena are a dime a dozen. Suzanne and Dax talk about the scientifically nonsensical myth of the sonic weapon, the psychosomatic wave of TikTok tics, and the real difference between hypochondria and psychosomatic impairment. Suzanne explains the sophisticated miracle of Kazakhstan sleeping sickness, the increased prevalence of masking in conditions like autism, and the argument for the benefit of supporting people without medicalizing them.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
