Ask The Therapist - Am I Crazy

Hello Everyone!

This is the second video in the "Ask The Therapist" series. The question for this video is, "If you're crazy, do you know it?" This was a really interesting question for me to answer since I might define "crazy" differently than other people, so I provided some basic information regarding diagnosing, the DSM IV and DSM 5, and the difference between two kinds of mental diagnoses.

If you have a follow up question or would like to submit your own question for me to answer in a future video, send me an email at Lindsey.Boes@gmail.com with "Ask The Therapist" in the subject line.
