    A Case of Seasonal Depression

    (Trigger Warning: This episode talks on themes surrounding depression, such as self-harm and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.) IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN - We're all feeling just a tad bit sadder. Seasonal Depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), what is most commonly referred to as "winter blues" in Western countries, is prevalent during these -ber months, and it can get very difficult to navigate through. This involves feeling overly fatigued, losing interest, social withdrawal, losing sleep, and feeling hopeless, among other things. I had a mental breakdown a few days ago, and as much as it seemed attributable to seasonal depression, I can't help but think that this also has something to do with the stresses that come with being in the field of medicine. In this episode, I talk about this recent breakdown, how I ~sort of~ bounced back from it, as well as pose some questions on how we can better address mental health concerns for healthcare professionals such as ourselves.

    Dealing With Uncertainty

    The unpredictable atmosphere brought about by the pandemic has certainly challenged all of us, and while we've done our best to "ride the wave", the constant flux can get pretty overwhelming and too difficult to bear with. We invited Oh, Doktora? to share with us her experiences in preparation for the Physician Licensure Examination, as well as some strategies on how we could be more comfortable in the face of uncertainties.
