Heavy Mental *bonus*

February’s bonus content comes a few days late. Sorry for the delay, I was moving.

This episode was sparked by a mental health reel my friend shared with me on Instagram. We’re going through a large scale realignment of the consensus on many social issues, and mental health stigma is not immune from that shift.

Some people say we’ve gone “too far” in destigmatizing things like mental illness, autism, and ADHD. They claim people are using these diagnoses and the language around them to shirk accountability and create a cocoon of emotional comfort instead of challenging themselves to grow.

Is that true? Here’s my thoughts.
