In this episode of the Overthinking Podcast, hosted by Madison and featuring guests Rory, Deandra, and Crystal, the discussion centers around the impact of stigma and labels on individuals' identity and mental health. The guests share personal stories and insights on how labels related to gender, mental health diagnoses, and addiction have affected their lives and the lives of their loved ones. They explore ways to challenge and overcome these labels to promote a more inclusive and understanding society. The episode also emphasizes the role of organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association in providing support and combating stigma. The song 'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones is a fitting title as it reflects the dark and challenging experiences individuals face due to stigmas and labels, and the desire to change and illuminate those aspects to foster acceptance and understanding.
