Concerning but relatable findings on graduate student mental health. We have to do better!

[Aljoscha Dreisoerner | @adreisoerner.bsky.social @adreisoerner]

💡New paper💡

Mental health/well-being are pretty terrible in academia (especially in doctoral students) and there are almost no studies investigating interventions for academics. Self-compassion is a short-term resource for better emotional regulation.🧵1/n

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

The issue with depression as a disorder is we tell people it’s a “chemical imbalance” when: they can’t make ends meet, they’re in a toxic relationship, or they were severely abused as a child.

Depression is a response.

Usually to survival mode.

Communication and empathy! But also, someone who invests in you as a person and not just as a graduate student and researcher.

normalize taking breaks

Having 648 google chrome tabs open simultaneously gives me anxiety, but not as much anxiety as the thought of closing them and not being able to find one of them when I need it later. I can’t be the only one…

receiving verbal affirmation from a mentor is one of the simplest yet most reassuring things a grad student can hear

Type I Zoom error: you think people can hear you, but you’re actually on mute.
Type II Zoom error: you think your muted, but actually people can hear you.

If this ⬇️ is you, consider a developmental psych PhD! My program has a dev psychopathology track where I take lots of clinical classes & do clinical research, but dont have to see clients or worry about internship. Bonus: more coursework flexibility AND time for my own research!

[Kassidy Colton @ColtonKassidy]

After nothing but rejections in 2021, we have a revise and resubmit to start off 2022! I’ll take this as a win 🤩

[Kassidy Colton @ColtonKassidy]

@dt__jacques Congrats, Deb!!🥳
