I was honoured that Dr. JD Haltigan agreed to speak with us for the Free Speech in Medicine Podcast. Julie (the X/Twitter-literate half of the Pairodocs) loves his tweets so much that she feels that they “are sharing the same brain”. He is fearless in following the evidence on psychopathology in modern society, and speaking about what it says, even when it leads to politically incorrect places.
As you’ll hear, Dr. Haltigan is a developmental psychologist with an interest in psychopathology and how it develops. Why do more and more people identify as mentally unwell in modern society? What is the role of feminism and safety culture in this trend? Dr. Haltigan has some great insights into these questions.
If you don’t yet, you should follow his work. He writes here on Substack. You can find his work at jdhaltigan.com, and follow him on X/Twitter @jdhaltigan.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
