‘America’s Psychiatrist’ Dr. Carole Lieberman — Available for Media Interviews for World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day is Oct. 10, 2026, and Oct. 2026 is Mental Health Awareness Month

BEVERLY HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the nation observes World Mental Health Day on October 10 and continues through Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Carole Lieberman — internationally recognized board‑certified psychiatrist, best‑selling author, Emmy‑honored media personality, and internationally recognized forensic expert — is available for interviews, expert commentary, and analysis.

This year’s World Health Organization theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change,” underscores the importance of elevating personal stories to drive meaningful improvements in mental‑health care. Dr. Lieberman’s work has long centered on identifying problems and solutions for America’s mental health care system. She has also helped people worldwide to understand the psychological forces shaping their lives, making her uniquely positioned to speak to this year’s global focus.

“America is facing a full‑blown mental‑health crisis. The pressures on the workforce, the challenges of modern‑day parenting, and the economic strain and affordability issues affecting both young and older generations have created unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety,” said Dr. Lieberman. “On top of that, people are bombarded with 24/7 news cycles that keep them in a constant state of alert.”

“Politics has become so divisive that it’s destabilizing people emotionally — including what I’ve identified as Trump Derangement Syndrome, where extreme political reactions overwhelm rational thinking. When daily life becomes this overwhelming, people lose their sense of balance. Recognizing these forces is the first step toward restoring our collective mental health,” said Dr. Lieberman, who has been outspoken on the impact of national and international traumatic events on mental health.

Key Topics Dr. Lieberman Can Address include:

Rising rates of anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress across all age groups

How lived experiences shape mental‑health outcomes and public understanding

The long‑tail psychological effects of conflict, instability, and terrorism

How families can talk to children about fear, stress, and world events

The mental‑health impact of social media, isolation, and digital overload

Practical steps individuals can take to strengthen resilience and emotional well‑being

Why World Mental Health Day matters — and how communities can support one another

The intersection of mental health and public safety, including emergency preparedness
