Understanding Social Anxiety, Overwork, and Body Image with Dr. Joseph Jebelli

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Jebelli discusses brain differences that may explain why many teenagers experience high levels of social anxiety, which can persist into adulthood due to various factors including overwork and self-imposed pressure. He shares his personal journey with social anxiety and how it escalated during his 20s due to overworking while pursuing his masters and Ph.D. The conversation also explores the impact of social media on anxiety and self-esteem, especially among young people, and the rise of body dysmorphia in both males and females. Dr. Jebelli emphasizes the importance of cardiovascular health and balanced exercise routines over extreme body aspirations.
