Over-Diagnosis: Are Too Many People Being Given Medical Labels? (Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan)

Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan thinks that we are getting diagnosis wrong.

In this episode the neurologist and author of The Age of Diagnosis explains how advances in screening have led to certain diseases being over-detected and why she thinks giving a condition a label can sometimes do more harm than good.

And Amol asks about some of the criticism she’s faced since her book was published last year.
