A landmark survey published in 2018 found that 41% PhD students reported moderate to severe anxiety, and 39% reported moderate to severe depression. These levels are six times higher than in the general population, revealing that academia is in the grips of a mental health crisis. Additionally, ~15% students identify as neurodiverse, which comes with its own unique set of challenges when working in research. This session will encourage open discussion on mental health and neurodiversity in the academic setting.
