Post PhD Depression: How Do You Deal With The After PhD Slump

Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/r3ciprocity

First of all, if you are feeling bad, I would talk to your healthcare provider, you will go a long ways with this.

In terms of the post-PhD depression, I lot of people deal with it, and it is common.

Why do you get a post-phd depression? When you work towards a goal and you get to that goal, you realize that there is not much behind that goal.

How do you deal with post-phd depressions? For me, it is discovering your new identity and your new self. Why are you here? What is your purpose in life?

Coming to terms that your academic life does not define you is important. You need to know that your life is beyond the academic studies.

Take up a hobby, or something that gets you to think about things beyond school.

What if the post-phd depression does not go away? I would definitely go talk to a healthcare provider.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
