Dr Judith Joseph on The Hidden Depression In High Achievers
Episode description
What if the person who seems to have it all together is actually struggling in silence?
In this episode, I’m joined by the extraordinary Dr. Judith Joseph – psychiatrist, researcher, and author of High Functioning – to unpack a form of depression that so many people relate to but rarely talk about: high-functioning depression.
We dive into why it’s often missed, how it hides behind achievement, and what it really means to live without joy – even while ticking every box of a “successful” life.
Dr. Judith shares insights from her groundbreaking research and her own personal experience, with wisdom that’s as validating as it is actionable. We also explore the mind-body connection, the role of trauma, and the small but powerful “points of joy” we can reclaim in our everyday lives.
Whether you're running on empty or supporting someone who is, this conversation will help you feel seen – and maybe even a little more hopeful.
