I loved this awesome conversation on optimizing well-being with my friend, Dr Jessi Gold. She is now the first Chief Wellness Officer for the University of Tennessee System, though this was recorded before that — and a psychiatrist with expertise in mental health for college students, healthcare workers, and in the entertainment industry. She shares wisdom on what it looks like to optimize well-being at a workplace, how to be prevention-oriented, and some insights on stigma she didn’t realize she carried from her own mental health journey.
Jessi Gold, MD, is the first Chief Wellness Officer for the University of Tennessee System and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. (This conversation was recorded before she started these roles.) Dr Gold is an internationally recognized speaker, media advocate, author, and mental health consultant with a special focus on college students, healthcare workers, and the entertainment industry. She also lives with depression.
Dr Gold has been spreading the light for decades with her critical work, and I’m thrilled to be sharing her wisdom about optimizing well-being with all of you.
Trigger warning: We talk about systemic challenges inherent to working within the US medical system and their mental health consequences, mental illness self-disclosures, and living with depression.

SPREAD THE LIGHT WITH DR DEVIKA B:
Because stigma festers in the dark and scatters in the light.
