Description

Are you "over-functioning" but feeling empty inside? In this episode, Dan Buettner sits down with board-certified psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Judith Joseph to pull back the curtain on a silent epidemic sweeping through our high-achieving society: High-Functioning Depression.

Dr. Joseph, founder of the Manhattan Mind Health and Wellness Center, shares her pioneering research as the first to publish a peer-reviewed study on this phenomenon. She reveals how even as a depression researcher, she didn't realize when it "snuck up" on her—hidden behind a wall of professional awards and a "Stepford-like" facade of success.
