If you’ve ever felt sad for weeks, unmotivated, numb, or like you’re just going through the motions — this one’s for you.
This week’s guest is Annie, a 31 year old primary care physician (and former dancer) who joins me to break down everything you never learned about depression — what it actually is, how it shows up, and why so many people in their 20s are experiencing it.
