The State of Mental Health in 2026
Published 8 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Mental health in the U.S. is at a crossroads.
In this debut episode of The Psychology of Everything, we take a big-picture look at the State of Mental Health in 2026—what the data actually tells us, what’s changed in care, where the pushback is coming from, and how to navigate the growing wave of misinformation around mental health online.
This conversation is grounded in research, shaped by real-world clinical experience, and designed to help you separate signal from noise in today’s mental health landscape.
