There are many misconceptions about psychiatric disease: what causes it, who is at risk, and how it manifests. Increasingly, we are understanding how common these misconceptions are in academia. In this seminar and facilitated discussion, tailored for academics, participants will learn more about:

• The prevalence of mental health illness in general and academic populations 
• An overview of signs and symptoms, highlighting those seen in academic settings 
• The science underlying the causes and treatments of mental illnesses, with an emphasis on depression and anxiety (most common mental illness)

Dr. Mary Huff is a neuroscientist, non-profit executive and Ambassador for Dragonfly Mental Health. Dr. Huff works to build more inclusive and supportive workplaces and her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying memory consolidation and stabilization. 

Dragonfly Mental Health is a 501(c)(3) US-based globally operating nonprofit dedicated to cultivating excellent mental health among academics worldwide through education, research and community building.
