Is society sick? Are we sick? Let's treat our drive to conform as a disorder we can diagnose and fix. This episode is a hypothetical deep dive where we treat our obedience to social pressure like other personality disorders. Main topics: DSM-5 entry for Social Pressure Personality Disorder (SPPD) 2 contrasting case studies Crossovers with other disorders How to manage and break out of your social pressure problems We develop a set of symptomatic criteria, case studies and a treatment plan to get us to live an independent life on our terms.
