Ira talks to Nikhil and Bakul about the growing use of mental health terms — how they’ve become more accessible, and at times, misused. They explore when labels can help us make sense of our experiences, and when they might limit us or shift responsibility.

It’s a conversation about finding balance — and learning how to engage with these terms more thoughtfully.

It’s a conversation about language, meaning, and the space between understanding and oversimplifying.

Because the way we use words shapes the way we see ourselves — and that’s worth approaching with curiosity.
