Here we are again with a new episode for you from the GetPsyched! Podcast. In this episode, we will be discussing the phenomenon of Idealization; a tricky feeling that can become a hurdle in self-growth and personal relationships. This is a short podcast that can shed more light on the topic of idealization, its root causes, and helpful solutions against it. You or someone you know may experience idealization unconsciously, and that’s normal, especially at the beginning of a new experience! However, it is important to take notice of the signs and moments where one starts to idealize, and simply be aware as it tends to go south. Sit back and relax while you take a listen! Creators: Madhu Ashwin and Hind Hamad

Stigma often comes from a lack of understanding or fear. Join us in today’s episode where we discuss how inaccurate or misleading media representations of mental illness contribute to both of those factors. We also discuss a review of studies on stigma that shows while the public may accept the medical or genetic nature of a mental health disorder and the need for treatment, many people still have a negative view of those with mental illness.
