EP01. The F-Code

As a matter of F | EP01. The F-Code We open the F-chapter of the ICD, a quiet archive where mental and behavioral disorders are alphabetized into existence. In this episode, I retrace how my depression moved from an unnamed feeling to a coded entry: from a vague placeholder to F33.2. This is an episode about loneliness, about the odd relief that comes with classification, and about the curious comfort of reducing a whole diagnosis into a few characters. If you’re anywhere in the F-range, officially or unofficially, consider this your welcome.
