Why We're "Fast But Lost": Dr Pallavi Joshi on Urban Depression & Healing

This episode is a profound shift in perspective on the mind itself.

Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Pallavi Joshi reveals her journey from gynecology to psychiatry, a pivot sparked by personal crisis and a mentor's crucial question. She shares groundbreaking cases from her Mumbai residency and her mission to replace stigma with science and strength.

A conversation about the courage to change, the myths that imprison us, and building resilience in a fast, fragmented world.

What this episode is REALLY about:

Not just illness.

Not quick fixes.

Not silent suffering.

It’s about:

• A life-altering pivot: from delivering babies to healing minds
• Debunking the dangerous myths around depression and medication
• The hidden epidemic: childhood depression and early trauma
• The corporate mind: burnout, balance, and psychological safety
• Digital dopamine: navigating social media addiction
• The stories that redefine hope, from a former terrorist to everyday struggles
• Her urgent book, Fast but Lost, diagnosing urban loneliness
• The foundational question: What does true mental wellness look like?

If you’ve ever felt lost in the modern rush or wondered how to build a resilient mind, this episode offers a map and a lifeline.
