We also explore what spirituality means to different people and how it can differ from religion.

    Long covid with Benedikt
    13 Aug 2026
    In this episode, Benedikt tells us how his life changed as a result of long COVID. From being an active person with a busy social life who played sports and studied, he experienced fatigue, post-exertional malaise (PEM), headaches, and sleep deprivation as a result of the chronic illness. We discuss the complexity of long COVID, the initial lack of knowledge about it in the medical field, and the current level of research on this chronic illness. Benedikt mentions the pros and cons of different therapeutic approaches he underwent. Long COVID had an impact not only on his physical and mental health but also on the social aspect of his life. Finally, we also discuss the misconceptions and stigma surrounding this invisible illness.

  • Antidepressants with Novela

    Antidepressants with Novela
    13 Aug 2026
    This episode talks about the stigma related to the use of antidepressants for depression. Our guest, Novela, a young person suffering from depression, describes stigma as a negative view of something that is untrue and harmful because it spreads misinformation and causes discrimination. Stigma about mental health often prevents people from seeking help. The examples of stigma mentioned in the episode include the toxicity of antidepressants, the idea that taking antidepressants is shameful or an easy way out, and the belief that medication changes your character and makes you emotionless, etc. We also talk about other strategies for managing depression and ways of breaking misconceptions about mental health.
