High Functioning: The Hidden Depression That May Be Stealing Your Joy & The Tools To Get It Back With Dr. Judith Joseph

Quick announcement before we dive in. By the time you hear this episode, I will be healing up in the aftermath of undergoing a pretty extensive back surgery procedure. And something that, in retrospect, perhaps I have too long delayed. The recovery period is going to be extensive.

I'll be sharing more on that later. But for now, I just want to say that I'll be laid up and away from the mic for what I've been told will likely be at least three weeks, perhaps more. The show will go on, of course, but thanks to spending more and more time focused on writing a book, our stash of banked episodes is a little bit lower than usual. So for the next handful of weeks, our every other Thursday midweek episodes will be re-releases of some of the best past episodes, which hopefully you'll enjoy, especially if you're fairly new to the show, as some of these are from way, way back. And also, hopefully, you will receive in the spirit in which they are shared.

Anyway, the surgery is, or I should say, was on May 8th. I'm a little bit nervous. I've never had surgery before, but I'm also looking forward to it. So knock on wood, it all goes or it went well. And even though the recovery will be long and extensive, I'm pretty excited to rebuild and eventually get back to being able to move my body in a way that I haven't been able to for quite some time.
