#295: The times we look like we have it all together can actually be the moments we’re struggling the most. When we’re busy creating our own luck, we can miss the signs that it’s time to tend to our mental and emotional well-being.
In today’s episode I’m sitting down with Dr. Judith Joseph, MD, MBA. Dr. Judith is a board-certified psychiatrist, researcher and award-winning content creator who specializes in mental health and trauma.
We discuss why the commonly understood signs of depression don’t tell the whole story, the ins and outs of high-functioning depression, and how to overcome it and reclaim your joy.
We Also Talk About…
- The hidden signs of high-functioning and hidden depression.
- Understanding anhedonia, or lack of joy, and how to work through it.
- Why high-achieving women are more susceptible to high-functioning depression.
- How to tend to your mental health when the state of the world feels hectic and overwhelming.
