But Are You Happy? · The 'Understanding Depression' Episode Everyone Should Listen To · 12 Jun 2026 podcast

I know for me, coming from a Sri Lankan background, so Southeast Asian culture, you know, we don't talk about emotions growing up. voice-verified

Hence why I started The Flourish Journey, which is all about helping young women talk about mental health. voice-verified

But it's just interesting because there is such a stigma. voice-verified

Like I noticed that across different generations. voice-verified

it's like, no, we're tough. voice-verified

Like we're resilient. voice-verified

We don't, what do you mean we stop and feel? voice-verified

No, like we need to go to our job, do what we need to do. voice-verified

Survival, stability first, not let's feel our emotions. voice-verified

But they do recognize that, you know, my generation and younger generations are getting more in touch with it. voice-verified

So they see it as something like, oh, that's really good for you. voice-verified

But, you know, it's a lot to feel into and, you know, I don't blame them. voice-verified

So, again, there's no, like, pointing the finger. voice-verified

But it's really interesting, isn't it? voice-verified

And it's good to shine a light on that because it is really important and it's good that you kind of spoke around how depression can be experienced in different communities. voice-verified

How does it translate into gender or age? voice-verified

Like do you notice there's like not so much a trend but do you notice there's like a commonality amongst? voice-verified
