GQ’s Psychiatrist: “The Sacrifice That’s Hurting Your Relationships”

Psychiatrist Dr. Eric Bender joins us to dive into the psychology behind anxiety, narcissism, and our complicated relationship with social media. From decoding emotional blockages—like why some of us struggle to cry—to understanding how mental health presents differently in men and women, Dr. Bender provides insightful answers rooted in clinical expertise. We explore the fine line between self-love and narcissism, examine how genetics might influence personality disorders, and uncover what’s truly happening in our brains when we form obsessions and phobias.
