Are people actually becoming more anxious, depressed, and mentally unwell—or are we just finally talking about it? As therapy, diagnosis, and mental health language become part of everyday life, something strange is happening at the same time: more people than ever are being told they have a mental health condition. In this discussion, David, a chief psychological counsellor, will help unpack a question that sounds provocative but matters deeply: are we getting “crazier,” or are we simply more aware, more honest, and more introspective than generations before us? We’ll explore how diagnosis works, what has changed in psychology over the last decades, and why awareness can sometimes feel like both progress and pressure.

 

From AI and constant digital stimulation to longer working hours, higher expectations, and a world that rarely switches off, we’ll look at how modern life is reshaping our inner worlds. Is rising depression a sign of collective decline or a sign that we’re finally naming things that used to stay hidden? And where does this all point for the future of mental health: more labels, better tools, or a need to rethink how we live altogether? This will be a smart, open, and judgment-free conversation for anyone curious about their own mind, the state of society, and where psychological wellbeing is headed next.

 

人们真的变得更焦虑、更抑郁、更不健康了吗？还是说，我们终于开始认真谈论这些问题了？当心理治疗、诊断和心理学词汇逐渐进入日常生活时，一个有点矛盾的现象也在出现：被告知“有心理问题”的人越来越多了。在这场讨论中，David——一位首席心理咨询师——会和大家一起拆解一个听起来有点挑衅、但非常重要的问题：我们是在变“更疯狂”，还是只是比以前更有意识、更诚实、更愿意向内看？

 

我们会聊到心理诊断是如何运作的，心理学在过去几十年里发生了哪些变化，以及为什么“心理健康意识的提升”有时既像进步，也会带来压力。从AI、持续的数字刺激，到更长的工作时间、更高的期待，以及一个几乎不让人停下来的世界，我们会一起看看现代生活正在如何重塑我们的内心。抑郁症数据的上升，是整体状态在走下坡路，还是我们终于给那些长期被隐藏的感受起了名字？而心理健康的未来，又会走向哪里——更多标签、更好的工具，还是我们需要重新思考生活方式本身？这会是一场理性、开放、不带评判的对话，适合所有对自我、社会状态，以及心理健康走向感到好奇的人。
