À propos de ce contenu audio

 Is a philosophy of mental health possible? And what would it look like? Let’s join together and reflect, in front of the mirror. About us: Hello, we’re Giacomo and Cristiano! We are Master’s students in philosophy and cognitive sciences, at the ‘Berlin School of Mind and Brain’, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. Giacomo strives for pursuing a path as a philosopher of mind and mental health. Cristiano dreams of becoming a psychotherapist, one day. Together, we’re committed to cultivating this dialogue, between philosophy and mental health, which has become our mission, and our passion.Cristiano Bacchi, Giacomo Piselli Fioroni Philosophie Sciences sociales

    • Diagnosis and medical language: Good or bad?

      Diagnosis and medical language: Good or bad?
      Jan 26 2026

      When we say diagnosis, we’re talking about medicine. When we say health, we’re still talking about medicine. So then - when do we get to talk about psychology?

      It often feels impossible to talk about mental health without using medical language. Even the words we choose - like “disorders” - show it.

      Today we’re asking: is all of this a good thing or a bad thing? What impact does diagnosis really have on our lives?

    • Naming suffering: What is a diagnosis?

      Naming suffering: What is a diagnosis?
      Jan 12 2026

      Sooner or later, in life, we have all received a diagnosis.

      An expert comes to us, or we go to them, and they utter some words that can sometimes change the course of our lives, for better or for worse.

      Words like “cold,” “gastritis,” “sore throat,” “ADHD,” or “major depression.” Well then, what do these words have in common? Why do we call all of them “diagnoses”?
