‘Your ADD Is Messing With My OCD': Is Our Therapeutic Culture Changing Everything From Romance to the Way We Think?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. In her 2024 book 'Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up,' investigative journalist Abigail Shrier turns a spotlight on the mental health industry and the unintentional harm it has inflicted on adolescents and teens. Psychologists, school counselors, teachers, and parents all looked to therapy as a way to produce happy and emotionally healthy children. Instead, Shrier argues, their well-meaning efforts have brought record-breaking numbers of young people being diagnosed as 'challenged,' traumatized, suicidal, and anxious, among other emotional and mental problems. She writes, 'Forty-two percent of the rising generation currently has a mental health diagnosis, rendering 'normal' increasingly abnormal.'

Joe Rogan has blunt two-word reply to podcast guest backlash
Joe Rogan is well known for having a wide range of guests on his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. In fact, Rogan famously interviewed Donald Trump in the lead-up to the 2024 election and was in talks with the Kamala Harris team to bring the former VP onto his show as well, although, of course, that never panned out.

In fact, Rogan has talked with many controversial figures in the past, and in some cases, this has gotten the podcaster in hot water with groups calling for boycotts and trying to convince Spotify to drop his contract. One of those controversial guests is Abigail Shrier, a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, as well as the author of Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters, and Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. With book titles like that, it's not hard to see why some would be upset with Rogan for giving Shrier a platform. However, the Podcaster has a blunt two-word reply to those who have tried to get Shrier (and his own show) cancelled for airing viewpoints that go against the mainstream orthodoxy on transgender and parenting issues. Image source: NBCUniversal via Getty Images Shrier appeared in an episode of The Rogan Experience, Episode #2109, and Rogan started off the show by telling the author that it was "Good to see you again." This was a reception Shrier was surprised about, as Shrier said that when she was on the show last, people tried to get the episode kicked off Spotify.

Rogan went on to explain in more detail why he felt that efforts to block Shrier's show from being broadcast were wrong, explaining, "Every time someone wants to stop discussions, they're wrong, they're wrong." While this episode aired months ago, the verified account for Joe Rogan Podcast News reposted the clip on X on July 1, 2025, bringing renewed attention to the issue of whether all guests should be welcome on the Spotify network – even those who question established medical advice on gender affirming care or the positive effects therapy and medication can have on certain children struggling with conditions like anxiety and ADHD. Rogan's defense of his decision to bring Shrier back onto his show in the reposted clip demonstrates that the comedian is simply not going to be silenced when it comes to airing a diversity of viewpoints.

In that episode, Rogan tackled the government censorship of social media networks, warning that if the government gets "a real grip" on social media, it will become impossible to protest or express yourself about things, even when they are true.

Still, as the recent Twitter post showed, Rogan isn't going to let anyone silence him, or those who he chooses to bring on as guests. And, for better or worse, he has the platform to make sure that the voices he wants people to listen to can be heard.
