We've come a long way in how we talk about mental health.But while diagnoses like depression and anxiety can empower people to seek help and support — they also influence how we see ourselves and how others might see us, too.Today, we investigate 'concept creep.' It's the idea that the labels we use to describe mental health are expanding and being applied to an ever-wider array of human behaviours.We look at what's causing this, the impacts it might have (both positive and negative), and what it means for how we understand mental health conditions.This episode first aired in November 2024.Guest:Professor Nick HaslamProfessor of Psychology, University of MelbourneCredits:<ul><li>Presenter/producer: Sana Qadar</li><li>Producer: Rose Kerr</li><li>Senior producer: James Bullen</li><li>Sound engineer: Simon Branthwaite</li></ul>You can catch up on more episodes of the All in the Mind podcast with journalist and presenter Sana Qadar, exploring the psychology of topics like stress, memory, communication and relationships on the ABC Listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.More information:<a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2016-08154-001">Concept creep: Psychology's expanding concepts of harm and pathology</a>
