Welcome to another episode of Bouncing Back: The Personal Resilience Science Insights Podcast, where your host, Joahanna Wickramaratne, explores the link between academic success and mental health. In today’s fast-paced world, where academic pressures are at an all-time high, understanding this relationship is more important than ever.
