This is the sixth episode in my series of “Diagnosing” where I, a licensed marriage and family therapist, analyze and, if necessary, diagnose fictional characters from TV and movies. In this episode I analyze and diagnose Carmy from “The Bear.” Yes chef!

*Disclaimer: this podcast episode is just for entertainment, not meant to be used to diagnose and treat real people. Over-diagnosing is a big issue, so I am only analyzing and diagnosing based on how the character presents on television or in a movie, and if it warrants a diagnosis in my professional opinion.

This episode is simply for information and entertainment purposes. This episode is not a substitute for therapy.

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode I discuss sensitive topics such as suicide, abuse, harassment, and substance use.
