(Part of the Entrepreneurship & Networking for Doctors Conference)

Target Audience: This talk is for doctors who feel highly capable but stuck. You want to grow at work and at home and pursue entrepreneurship so you can diversify and fortify your income, but the anxiety and overwhelm is holding you back from joyfully pursuing your dreams.

Learning Objectives: 

• Clues that you may be suffering from an undiagnosed disease that is making life harder than it needs to be.
• My path to understanding and addressing some of the things that were holding me back — how to get vulnerable and ask for help.
• How subtle changes in brain chemistry can unleash your potential and bring you joy didn’t think was possible. These changes get the fly wheel going.
• Analogy: Some of my patients who come to me suffering from undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis tell me they “had no idea how much pain” they were in before the weight was lifted after starting a medication I prescribed. This phenomenon applies to mental health, too, but you need to ask for help.
