Can stress really kill you? As an anesthesiologist, I've seen firsthand how stress profoundly impacts patient health, yet misinformation continues to gaslight patients and delay vital treatment. In this video, I debunk the top 3 dangerous mental health myths that my patients frequently encounter:

1. Depression isn't just about "not trying hard enough": Learn how depression biologically changes your pain perception and surgery outcomes. Discover why anesthesiologists must adjust medication strategies specifically for patients with major depressive disorder.

2. Anxiety isn't simply nervousness or being "high-strung": Explore the objective, measurable impacts anxiety has on heart health, immune function, and surgical recovery. Understand why anxiety management isn't coddling—it's critical medical care.

3. PTSD isn't something to just "get over": PTSD causes lasting changes in brain anatomy, hormone balance, and cardiovascular risk. See why targeted PTSD treatment is essential, particularly around surgical care and long-term heart and cognitive health.

I'll share the latest medical studies, practical insights from my clinical experience, and actionable advice on advocating for your mental health in medical settings. If you or someone you know has ever felt dismissed or misunderstood regarding mental health, this video will equip you with powerful knowledge to advocate for better care.
