Great article and attention to one of the most subliminal problems of our youthful generation!
Glad to see it here.
Thank you Tamra! I’m so glad you liked the article. I also noticed your link to Active Minds, which is another wonderful organization.

What the article describes is something I’ve observed in other grad students – and I think it goes largely unspoken.
I’m happy to say when all was said and done, I grew tremendously and learned a lot about myself during graduate school. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing!
