https://www.youtube.com/embed/xH5IM2fnCg8?start=18 By and large, the rise in public conversations about mental health over the past decades has been a positive development, says Lucy Foulkes, a psychologist at the University of Oxford and former Psyche editor. However, certain aspects of the mental health awareness movement – including imprecise, inflated and even flippant language, as well as the proliferation of non-experts using psychology-speak – are causing genuine societal harm.
