45. Making Sense of Multitasking & Mental Health with Defne Eraslan

Do you struggle with distraction and multitasking? Do you have trouble setting goals? Do everyone else's lives just seem cooler than yours on social media? In a departure from the usual marketing-related content, Itir welcomes her sister Defne Eraslan, a psychiatrist, for an in-depth exploration of mental health. The episode offers an intimate conversation about understanding psychological challenges, debunking myths surrounding mental disorders, and navigating modern psychological pressures. Defne provides professional insights into ADHD, social media's impact on mental health, and the complexities of psychiatric diagnoses, delivering a refreshingly personal and informative discussion. And stick around till the end for some good-natured sibling rivalry! Defne's favorite cafe in Germany is Blumen Beetz: https://www.blumenbeetzshop.de/ Her recommended reads are Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention by Johann Hari (https://www.amazon.com/Stolen-Focus-Attention-Think-Deeply/dp/0593138511) and Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will by Robert Sapolsky (https://www.amazon.com/Determined-Science-Life-without-Free/dp/0525560971/).
