15-07-2024 • 58 mins

Feeling like everything is a drag? You're not alone! This week on the show, Navya and Saahil dive deep into the world of depression, a mood monster that affects way more people than you think (we're talking millions in India alone!). We'll break down the difference between feeling bummed and actually having depression, plus how it can mess with your relationships, your day-to-day life, and even society as a whole. But wait, there's more! We'll also tackle the weird stigma around depression in India. We'll bust some myths, explore why it even exists, and see how city life compares to the countryside when it comes to talking about mental health. Spoiler alert: education and open conversations are our superheroes in this fight! So tune in, get informed, and maybe even learn how to help someone in your life who's struggling.
