will present the talk titled
Mental Health of Doctoral Students
Abstract
Mental health problems among PhD studentsIn recent years there has been an increased call of attention on the Mental Health problems of PhD students (and of researchers working in Academia in general). In the seminar I will review evidences on the high rates of some mental health problems (such as depression and anxiety) among PhD students, some of the main reasons for this problem, and possible ways of tackling this important issue. The starting point will be the Editorial in Nature “The mental health of PhD researchers demands urgent attention” (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03489-1) and from it, other different studies will be presented.
Location: Online (Teams). The link will be published the same day of the seminar
