Are We Living in the Age of Diagnosis? – Join the Discussion at Think Corner on April 14th! (held in Finnish)

Translated with a help of AI.

Mental health is a topic of conversation everywhere, and more and more people define themselves through diagnoses. Are we in the midst of a mental health crisis? How do diagnoses reflect the broader state of society? Join the discussion at Think Corner on Tuesday, April 14th, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM.

Difficult emotions are increasingly framed in psychiatric terms, and anxiety among young people has been growing year after year. Are we now seeking medical explanations even for the setbacks and uncertainty that are part of ordinary life? And in all this discussion, are the voices of the seriously ill being drowned out?

The discussion features University Researcher Mona Mannevuo, historian Mia Pohtola, and Professor of Adolescent Psychiatry Anu Raevuori. The discussion will be moderated by Vappu Kaarenoja, managing editor of Suomen Kuvalehti.

The event is organized by the University of Helsinki in collaboration with Suomen Kuvalehti.

Join us at Think Corner on Tuesday, April 14th, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM, or follow the live stream. Street address: Think Corner, Yliopistonkatu 4, Helsinki. The discussion will be held in Finnish.
