Does Language Shape Our Emotional Worldview? 

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1922), a well-renowned philosopher, once said, “The limits of my  language mean the limits of the world.” This simple yet profound quote represents a compelling notion of how language influences individuals’ experiences of the world.

Doctoral research is normally thought of as a lofty and mentally stimulating endeavour. But beneath the mental ideal lies a collection of personal and social weights which doctoral students silently bear. Among them are the most significant marital expectations, familial responsibilities, and resulting guilt over life occurrences postponed. The problems are particularly severe in collectivist […]

The Psychology Behind Why Eldest Children Are Given More Responsibility

In some families and cultures, the eldest child (or firstborn) is responsible for “stepping up” and managing the younger siblings, providing an example to emulate, maintaining the household, and even acting as a young parent.

For the majority, the fear of rejection becomes such an immobilising force that it bars personal development, whether in social affairs, the workplace, or artistic endeavours. The evolutionary biology and social psychology perspectives hold that the fear of rejection generally […]

What Makes a Good Therapist: Beyond qualifications

When Rahim finally decided to see a therapist, he made sure the therapist had the best degrees, good reviews, and more than 5 years of experience. But after a few sessions, he didn’t feel right.

PhD in India: The Hidden Mental Health Struggles and How to Cope

Doing a doctorate in India comes with specific challenges that have a gigantic effect on the mental well-being of PhD candidates. Deadline pressure to deliver unique research with strict timelines has the potential to foster feelings of insufficiency and self-doubt, resulting in anxiety and depression (Parveen et al., 2025).

Interoception: How Sensing Your Body Helps Your Mind

It is a common misperception to believe that our brain only perceives the outer world and its signals. Its inner implications are often forgotten. When our brain perceives an object, for instance, a croissant on a table, our body reacts simultaneously, perhaps in the form of saliva pooling in the mouth or the pang of […]
