On this episode of The Great Brain Debate, I open up about my personal struggle with suicidal ideation (SI), depression, and anxiety. I share how these challenges have profoundly affected my life, including the difficult decision to step away from a successful career I’d built over 16 years to prioritize my mental health.
This episode is deeply personal and heartfelt, offering a candid look into my journey with these mental health issues. I’ll discuss the impact they’ve had on various aspects of my life and the process of seeking help and making significant changes to focus on my well-being.
If you’re new to the podcast, I recommend starting here. This episode sets the stage for understanding the more in-depth discussions that will follow about managing and overcoming these struggles. My hope is that by sharing my story, I can offer support and solidarity to those who might be facing similar challenges.
