#81. How Women Use Mental Health to Avoid Growing Up
About this episode
The episode discusses how mental health labels are used by young women to navigate adulthood and the implications of this trend.
How did ordinary adulthood become evidence of psychiatric suffering? What's the real attraction? In this episode, I react to young women presenting normal functioning as "high-functioning depression," insisting that invisible distress cannot be questioned, and using suicidal language to make disagreement morally dangerous. I explain how mental-health labels can turn basic responsibilities into acts of bravery, confer moral authority and eventually become leverage over everyone around them. Do you think mental-health awareness has gone too far—or are these videos helping people feel less alone? Let me know in the comments. Please like, subscribe and share the episode!
