In this episode, I was interviewed by Emma Lian, who is a junior at Westlake High School in Austin, Texas. She is a smart and studious young woman who reached out to me on her own accord to ask me some questions about the practice of psychology because she interested in career options in this field. We both thought it would be fun and interesting to record the conversation for The Reasonably Good Life podcast, so we did so! We had a great time discussing a range of topics including the differences between psychiatry and psychology, what it's like to be a psychologist/therapist, the increase in mental health issues among young people, mental health problems on a societal level, what helps people achieve greater life satisfaction, medication vs. psychotherapy to treat mental health issues, and general advice for young people to help increase happiness and well-being.
