Just as many other people, scientists may struggle with mental health issues. In our ‘Mental health in PhD students’ study (Levecque et al., 2017), we found alarming rates of mental health problems in PhD students. In April 2019, I participated in a video webinar organized by Science Magazine on mental health in the academic world and how to prevent or deal with it.
