E30. Dissertation, Defense, DEPRESSION: Dealing with Grad School Depression and Post-Adrenaline Blues

May 11, 2020

I know that we are in the middle of a pandemic and the last thing that we want to talk about is… anything that does not have to do with the pandemic. However, I have something that I want to share. During and after working on my doctorate degree I suffered from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It was through seeking the necessary help that I was able to gain back control over my thoughts and improve my health.

There are so many people out there who are suffering or have suffered from mental health issues and are ashamed because society is cruel. I hope that by adding this podcast to the collection of people sharing their experiences online I can move the normalization needle to help more people be okay with their diagnosis and seeking the attention that they need.

 

Even in dark times, choose to shine.
