In this episode of Podclass, we discuss mental health. We dive into the history of mental institutions and their origins, and discuss how mental disorders are diagnosed, defined, and classified. We also talk on the influence of culture on how mental illnesses are portrayed. We highlight the need for more discussion on the topic and how stigmas have and still continue to perpetuate a certain image of what mental illness is.
