What if numbness is the hidden wound of high-functioning depression?

In this episode, Shan sits down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a board-certified psychiatrist, clinical researcher, and internationally recognized mental health advocate.

They dive deep into anhedonia, the loss of pleasure or interest in things that once brought you joy, and how it shows up, especially for those living with high-functioning depression. Dr. Joseph expands on how joy is our birthright and how it connects to our biopsychosocial blueprint.

Expect insights on:
✨ How high-functioning depression operates
✨ Why anhedonia is so often overlooked
✨ The three-part psycho-socio-biological model that explains it
✨ How to begin reconnecting with your desire and vitality
