Work can inspire or exhaust us — sometimes both in a single day. Mental Health in the Work Environment explores how workplace stress erodes focus, fuels anxiety, and silences vulnerability. It argues for open dialogue, supportive employers, and personal strategies that protect well-being — because no career should cost your peace of mind.
Behind every statistic lies a story — one of pain, silence, and preventable loss.

Social media promised connection — but at what cost? "The Toxicity of Social Media" explores how platforms like Facebook and Instagram have reshaped our self-esteem, relationships, and mental health. Blending research with reflection, it reveals how online validation, comparison, and constant exposure can distort reality, deepen insecurity, and quietly erode well-being.
Isolation protects the body — but can quietly wound the mind. "Social Isolation and Mental Health" explores how loneliness, disconnection, and “perceived isolation” affect our well-being, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Combining science and lived experience, it reflects on empathy, resilience, and how genuine connection can exist even from afar.
Why does winter seem to drain our mood and motivation?

Grief is universal — but should it ever be considered a mental illness?

Blending science with empathy, it highlights why connection is vital for survival.
Behind every lecture and research paper lies a silent struggle.

Through data, empathy, and reflection, it calls for change in a culture built on silence.
Behind the prestige of a doctorate lies a silent struggle. "There Is a Heavy Cost to Getting a PhD That Nobody Talks About" exposes the psychological toll of academic life — the isolation, perfectionism, and stigma that too often accompany it. Blending data and personal experience, it urges academia to confront its hidden mental health crisis.
Untreated depression doesn’t just hurt emotionally — it may physically damage the brain. Mounting research links chronic depression to inflammation and neurodegeneration, suggesting that neglecting mental health can literally change our biology.

This is mental health.
