The Rise of the ‘Diagnostic Divas’ and How They’re Wrecking Relationships

From viral TikToks calling every guy a narcissist to comment sections telling strangers to “leave him now,” the internet is full of armchair therapists handing out diagnoses without context. In this episode of Therapy or Trash, Dr. Alexis Moreno and therapist Alex Honigman dissect the rise of the “Diagnostic Divas” — people with no credentials making sweeping judgments about relationships based on a single clip. They break down the psychology of online overreactions, the dangers of DIY diagnosing, and why these trends can damage real relationships. Along the way, they react to some of the wildest posts and comments, explain how real clinicians assess behaviour, and share practical ways to protect your relationships from bad advice.

Listen in for the expert insights, laugh-out-loud reactions, and myth-busting truths you won’t get from your feed.
