Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | Mental Health Misinformation

Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor Emeritus at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram Nanney

Guest(s): Dr. Courtney Walker

Topic: Social media is here to stay and has some real positives in some venues but there is a downside when it comes to relying on social media for your mental health information. Misinformation may increase your confidence in how to approach and treat a disorder, but it may actually impair your true knowledge on what is real information about the disorder. Today Dr. Courtney Walker and I will be talking about the potential dangers of relying on social media to understand a disorder you may have and why you should not do that.
