Why Are We So Anxious? Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Dulchin Explains

Why are so many people struggling with anxiety, even when they're successful? And how are artificial intelligence, social pressures, and uncertainty about the future affecting our mental health?

Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Dulchin joins Richard Taite on We're Out of Time to explore the challenges shaping mental health today and why achievement doesn't always lead to happiness or fulfillment.

With more than 30 years of experience in psychiatry, Dr. Dulchin is co-founder of Union Square Practice in New York City and previously served as director of inpatient psychiatry at NYU Medical Center.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Dulchin discusses anxiety, depression, emotional resilience, and the importance of understanding ourselves. He also shares his perspective on adult ADHD and over-diagnosis, the influence of AI and social media, addiction and the opioid crisis, and how relationships and community contribute to emotional well-being.

Richard and Dr. Dulchin also explore the pressure to succeed, the difference between achievement and fulfillment, and the psychological techniques that help athletes and high performers navigate stress.
