MANAGING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH DURING YOUR PHD - Z...

This book explores the PhD experience as never before and provides a survival guide for current
and prospective PhD students. The book investigates why mental health issues are so common
among the postgraduate population  going beyond the statistics  looking at lived experience of
both the author and as well as current PhD students  who have found balancing mental wellness
with the PhD endeavour challenging. The author discusses tips and tricks she wished she had
known at the start of her PhD process for managing mental health  such as managing imposter
feelings  prioritising workload  and self-care strategies to help others throughout their own
journey.The book goes beyond typical mental health discussions (where the focus for improving
mental health is placed on PhD students to become more resilient) and explores some of the
often unspoken environmental factors that can impact mental health. These include the PhD
student-supervisor relationship  the pressure to publish  and deep systemic problems in
academia  such as racism  bullying and harassment. Finally  the book is a call to action 
providing tangible improvements from the author's perspective that university institutions can
make to ensure that academia is a place for all to thrive.
