Dentists, depression, and suicide: Learning to cope, with Dr. Joshua Austin
Winter blues? Well, as dentists we all know it doesn't have to be a special season for us to get depressed.
This episode is a shoutout to this time of year where we all feel off, the days are short, the darkness seemingly stays around forever, and we do some crazy things to try to make us feel better.
The coping strategies we employ—such as drugs, alcohol, and junk food—are all only temporary fixes and can carry adverse effects. Join us in this episode as Dr. Joshua Austin tells us about better ways to get through this funk we all feel.
