I have a background in Psychology- the study of human behavior. One of my favorite professors, a neuro psychologist always said that you cannot separate the mind from the body.

It changed the way I perceived health.

With that being said, I believe we all struggle with all types of health issues throughout our lifetime. Which is why healthcare for everyone is essential.

There are many ways to maintain your ability to impact your health.

IBM, your comment had little to do with my question. I’m asking about people who have/are experiencing mental illness. I’m also not disputing the need for Universal healthcare in the U.S.

I have PMDD which effectively turns my brain to mush with every menstrual cycle. I am on track to be promoted to manager but I definitely don’t feel confident about being a manager considering it’s hard for me to stay consistently high performing when my brain is trying to kill me two weeks out of the month.

Me too! Started on anti depressants- my life is improved a lot!

I have anxiety and in 2020 I had mild depression. Idk if I’m “successful” I am mid-senior level at my company, not an exec.

I mean look into long term disability at your current employer, if it’s too hard then there are options.

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested. They are saying they will have to do special PGT tests if we are carriers of the same disorder. I am confused. I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?

Or should I continue down the field path and wait until those field management slots open up?
