Introduction

Today is World Mental Health Day and it's time for us to banish the stigma around mental health. I want to dedicate this entire episode to informing you, giving you some education because that's a crucial part of overcoming the stigma about mental health. This is going to be a mini abnormal psychology class. The word abnormal can be taken with offense or maybe there's some negativity around that but I want to help you understand how we use the word abnormal in a psychological context.
