The Truth About Mental Health Labels

In this episode, we explore the impact of mental health labels and how they can sometimes hinder our progress rather than help us heal. Mental health diagnoses like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD are widely used, but what if these labels are limiting our growth?

We discuss the difference between using a label as a tool for understanding versus letting it define who you are. Learn how identifying too strongly with a diagnosis can lead to stagnation and over-pathologising normal emotions.

We’ll also explore how you can take ownership of your mental health and move beyond the labels to build a healthier future. This episode encourages self-reflection, action, and responsibility in your healing journey.

Key Points:

• The comfort and trap of mental health labels.

• How labels can limit personal growth and create false identities.

• The risk of over-pathologising normal human emotions.

• How to take responsibility for your mental health and growth.

• Tips for challenging the narrative that you’re “stuck.”
