.mindykaling told TODAY on the red carpet Thursday night that “destigmatizing (and) seeking help for mental health” have become big parts of the show and are overarching themes in the new season.
At the Season Three premiere for the teen dramedy in Westwood, California, the writers and executive producers spoke to TODAY about “destigmatizing” conversations around mental health and celebrating self love.

Devi grapples with her question throughout the season as she struggles to feel confident in her relationship.“We’re really trying to talk about self confidence and self love,” Fisher said. “And by the end of this season, we want her to realize what she has already is her amazing friends and her relationships and her love and family…She’s already there. She already has everything she could need.
“I feel like sometimes when we’re touching on real issues — whether it be race, gender, sexuality, whatever — it’s not something that defines the character that we’re talking about,” he said. “That’s just one facet of them and I think that just reflects real life a little bit more. People can relate to that.”
