Being Sane in Insane Places: Diagnosis is Broken & Data is the Answer

The mental health system has been recycling the same theories for over 100 years—Freud, Jung, the DSM. But rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide keep climbing. Something’s broken.

In this episode, Bizzie Gold unpacks the Rosenhahn Experiment, the myth of the chemical imbalance, and why diagnosis is built on shaky ground. Then she reveals how data-driven solutions like Brain Pattern Mapping are disrupting psychiatry and creating sustainable healing.

If you’ve ever questioned labels, therapy loops, or why nothing seems to work—this episode will change how you see mental health forever.

You’ll discover:

• How labels distort reality and keep people stuck

• Why the DSM is more insurance codebook than science

• The myth of the chemical imbalance and missing biological markers
