Did The Internet Make Mental Health Confusing? ft. Imran Khan & Dr. Vikram Patel

In this episode, psychiatrist Dr. Vikram Patel and actor Imran Khan join Ira to dissect what mental health conversations used to be like before the age of the internet, how to filter the right kind of information online, why media literacy is important, and if it is possible to diagnose a serial killer just based on their fingers. TS Studios brings you Call Me Hopeful, a podcast where host Ira Khan attempts to make sense of the information, misinformation, oversimplifications and complications around mental health in India today. If you are struggling with your mental health, remember there is help out there.
