I'm Dr. Margaret, a psychologist for 30 years, TEDx speaker, and the author of Perfectly Hidden Depression. I created The SelfWork Podcast in 2016 to explain mental health treatment, and to give you the chance to consider therapy without thinking it's weird or that you can't "fix" your own problems. My team is so honored that five years later, SelfWork has earned nearly 5 million downloads! Each episode features the popular listener question. You’ll also hear “You Get the Gist” segments - a five minute run-down of a current topic - as well as interviews with outstanding guests, authors, or experts, adding to the wide diversity of topics listeners so appreciate. Regularly rated as one of the top mental health/depression podcasts out there, I keep it short and casual - and I'd love to hear from you. Please join me.

    397 SelfWork: What Is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder or PMDD?

    What is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder or or PMDD? We're going to focus today on what it is and what it's not, who suffers from it, how early can it emerge, why is it so misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or even ridiculed (which of course makes seeking treatment much harder). And, as always, what you can do about it.

    396 SelfWork: From Able-Bodied Mom to Disabled: A Conversation with Marjorie Aunos, Ph.D.

    Marjorie Aunos' story is not one you'll forget. In one second, she went from being an able-bodied mom to a disabled one. Mother to a 16-month-old at the time, an accident and injury left her with paraplegia.

    395 SelfWork: Why Don't You Talk About Your Struggle with Depression?

    Why don't you talk about your struggle with depression?

    You may have lots of reasons, or excuses, or justifications. But I found out by reading the responses on (what I'm honored to say) is a viral TEDx talk, "How to recognize perfectly hidden depression", that so many of us need to know that this struggle is common - and doesn't have to be hidden.
