Jealousy, or Something Deeper? The Truth About Anxiety and Depression

Nicky & Mernelle Season 1 Episode 6

Jealousy, or Something Deeper? The Truth About Anxiety and Depression
Translating misunderstood mental health labels into real issues.

Is it really jealousy—or is it depression in disguise?
In this episode, we explore how emotions like sadness, irritability, or withdrawal are often mislabeled as jealousy or “hating,” especially within marginalized communities. But what if what you're seeing isn’t envy—it’s a cry for help masked by anxiety or depression?

We dive into how mental health struggles are frequently misunderstood, dismissed, or shamed, and the deep impact that stigma has on people of color and other underserved groups. Let’s have the conversation that too often gets silenced—and start recognizing the pain behind the labels.
