In this deeply introspective episode of We’re Gonna Talk About It, hosts Joel Atuhaire & Joanna Akunda sit down with Sarah, a clinical psychologist, to unravel the intricate workings of the mind. With mental health struggles on the rise, we take a deep dive into depression and anxiety, breaking down their psychological roots, symptoms, and how they manifest differently in individuals. Is depression just prolonged sadness, or is there more to it? How does anxiety creep in, distorting reality and controlling behaviour? Together, we explore the thin yet profound line that separates the two.
The conversation extends beyond common mental health struggles, peeling back the layers of phobias—why do some fears seem irrational but feel completely real to those experiencing them? We also take a chilling detour into the world of psychopathy and mental disorders, dissecting what makes a psychopath, how their minds differ from the average person, and whether they are born or shaped by experience. Are psychopaths truly devoid of emotion, or do they just experience the world differently?
No journey into the mind is complete without addressing the mystery of dreams. Do our subconscious thoughts reveal hidden anxieties, suppressed desires, or deeper psychological truths? What role do dreams play in our mental health, and can they be a window into unresolved trauma? Sarah helps us decode the meanings behind what our minds create when we sleep, uncovering the psychological significance of dreams and nightmares.
This episode is raw, thought-provoking, and eye-opening, offering expert insights into the depths of the human mind. Whether you’re struggling with mental health, fascinated by psychology, or just looking for a better understanding of yourself and those around you, this conversation will leave you questioning, reflecting, and eager to learn more.
