Make It Make Sense With Ayanda Nyathi - Are We Misusing Psychology Terms In Everyday Language?

Loading player...
General awareness on issues of mental health and psychology has greatly increased around the world, thanks to the spread of information, the digital age, and popular culture. Where generations before us may not have known about concepts like "triggered, trauma and OCD",many of us now know what these terms mean. However, with all this knowledge, are we beginning to misuse these terms, out of context in everyday language? Is "Triggered" the right word for every moment that we don't like? Is "Trauma" just a blanket term for any bad experience? Is "Narcissist" now the term for anybody we think is selfish or that we don't like? Clinical Psychologist, Keitumetse Senosi helps us make sense off it all.
