Unpacking Mental Health in Amazon Prime's 'The Boys' with Diagnonsense Ep. 11

We create this false sense of hope and reality that we go and we live in for a long period of time, and then, the moment that that's shaken a little bit, yeah, we fold back into it and we don't allow ourselves to learn how to cope with those things in the moment.
Ever wondered how a superhero show can reflect real-life mental health struggles? In this episode of Diagnonsense, hosts Justin Pendergrass and Kurt Honak, along with Isaac, dive into the first season of Amazon Prime's 'The Boys'. They unravel the complex mental health themes embedded in the show, offering insights into how characters cope with trauma and disillusionment. From the disturbing realities of false hope to the nuanced symbolism throughout the series, this conversation is both enlightening and thought-provoking.
The trio also shares a lighter moment discussing Justin's surprising depth of knowledge about the Powerpuff Girls. Whether you're a fan of 'The Boys' or interested in how media portrays mental health, this episode offers a compelling blend of analysis and personal reflections.
