The True Meaning of Mental Health Terms

In this episode, we dive into the rise of self-diagnosis culture and the viral misuse of clinical terms like OCD, BPD, narcissism, Bipolar and more. From Gen Z slang to TikTok armchair therapy, we unpack what these labels actually mean—and why misusing them matters. We share our hot takes, a few controversial opinions, and offer practical clarity for anyone trying to better understand their own mind (or someone else’s). If you’ve ever been called “toxic” for setting a boundary, or diagnosed via meme, this one’s for you.
