ADHD OR JUST REAL LIFE? WHY LABELS MAY BE HURTING YOU

Wretched Radio with Todd Friel - Un podcast de Fortis Institute

Segment 1: • A podcast features an ADHD “expert” promoting unscientific claims and labeling normal behavior as pathological. • The rise of ADHD diagnoses—especially in boys—might reveal more about parenting and expectations than mental health. • Todd challenges the cruelty of secular diagnoses that ignore biblical categories of the heart. Segment 2: • The expert describes ordinary human experiences as symptoms of ADHD—especially academic struggles. • Todd challenges the cultural tendency to pathologize God-given personality traits. • Rather than diagnosing hyperactivity, what if God is using difficult children to grow us in holiness? Segment 3: • A surprisingly honest NYT article admits Americans haven’t found anything more satisfying than religion. • Kids are desperate for answers—Christianity still offers what the world can't. • Wesley Huff’s clear gospel witness shows biblical clarity can shine in cultural confusion. Segment 4: • Despite rising secularism, people confess their spiritual longings won’t go away. • Community, meaning, and even friendship are poor replacements for God. • Harvard’s elite can’t answer life’s biggest questions—but Scripture can. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!
