This week we're joined by renowned mental health influencer and physician, Jake Goodman, MD, MBA, to address workplace mental health. Studies show that 1 in every 4 doctors struggle with their mental health, a number that is higher than the national average for depression. With such a shocking statistic, it's clear we have a problem that needs to be addressed. Dr. Goodman has been doing just that through his own personal story of mental health struggles, taking medication, and sharing openly on social media.
In this conversation we cover this topic in depth along with resources for getting help or supporting a loved one, healing imposter syndrome, cultivating the confidence to do anything, and using social media as a tool to inspire.
