Extra: 'Therapy Nation' and America's Addiction to Treatment

It's not your imagination: a lot of people are in therapy right now and talking about it. Mental health awareness has come a long way in recent decades, reducing stigma and encouraging more people to seek care. But now, with therapy available on demand, there is growing concern about patients following advice they find online or on social media. People sometimes misdiagnose themselves or wrongly attach clinical labels to others. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert calls it "therapy culture," and he recently joined FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady to discuss this troubling trend. He talks about his new book, 'Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided,' warning against people falling into a cycle of never-ending treatment in which they only feel better in the moment rather than actually getting better. Alpert also explains how this culture is reshaping the way we view ourselves and one another, creating ripple effects across the country. We often have to cut our interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this conversation in its entirety.
