More on: Underreporting

The issue of underreporting is a common theme across the podcast episodes provided, as they both highlight how certain topics, such as sextortion and psychotic depression, are often underreported by individuals due to factors like shame, stigma, and fear of consequences.

In the episode on sextortion, the podcast acknowledges that cases may be underreported, particularly among adults, due to the stigma and embarrassment associated with these types of scams. Similarly, the episode on psychotic depression emphasizes that patients often fail to report psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, due to concerns about the potential consequences, which can lead to inadequate treatment.

Addressing the issue of underreporting is crucial to ensuring that individuals in need receive the appropriate support and resources.
