Are We Overdiagnosing Our Kids?

Wild stat: childhood psychiatric diagnoses have skyrocketed, but it’s not because kids are suddenly more unwell. Turns out, it’s a mix of broader definitions (thanks, DSM-5), more awareness, and the fact that a diagnosis often unlocks support at school. But here’s the twist—are we just labeling normal kid struggles as disorders? Society’s expectations are higher than ever, and now even everyday stress can get a clinical label. Are we helping, or just medicalizing childhood? #MentalHealth #Parenting #Childhood #Education #DiagnosisDebate #Health
