Are we actually facing more mental health issues today, or are we simply more quick to self-diagnose? This week, we explore that thought-provoking question and more as we navigate the labyrinth of mental health discussions. We question the impact of our society's over-reliance on the DSM and the danger of confusing transient states of feeling low with actual depression. We urge you to step away from self-diagnosis and work towards getting out of your funk, rather than labeling it.

Then, we take an honest look at how the COVID-19 pandemic has rattled our mental well-being. From price hikes to the absence of social gatherings, isolation, and the challenges of remote work, we leave no stone unturned. While government stimulus checks have served as a temporary bandage, we suggest that free therapy sessions would be a more effective remedy. 

We further delve into the pandemic's impact on personal growth, self-love, and relationships. Hear us discuss the unique challenges of healing from trauma, both individually and within a relationship. Our conversation delves into strategies for handling anxious thoughts, concentrating on what's within our control, and identifying a temporary moment for what it is, rather than mistaking it for trauma. We invite you to be a part of this essential discussion and gain insights to help navigate these uncertain times. Join us, let's challenge the norm together!
