About this listen

For too long, mental health has been weighed down by silence, shame, and misunderstanding. People living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and countless other conditions often face not only the difficulty of their illness but also the stigma that surrounds it. This double burden prevents open conversation, delays treatment, and isolates individuals who most need support.

In this powerful and practical guide, Jorik Malvern dismantles the myths and misconceptions that have silenced discussion for centuries. Drawing on history, psychology, and lived experience, he explains how stigma took root — from ancient superstitions to harmful stereotypes still perpetuated in the media — and why breaking the silence today is more urgent than ever.

Structured around ten essential steps, this book gives readers clear strategies for fostering understanding and empathy. You’ll discover how to educate yourself on the basics of mental health, confide safely in trusted allies
