S12 E12: How to Overcome High-Functioning Depression and Reclaim Joy With Dr. Judith Joseph Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

In 2020, Dr. Judith Joseph noticed that despite her success as a psychiatrist and researcher, she was overwhelmed and exhausted, yet dissatisfied and restless; she often teetered between feeling fatigued and a relentless drive to keep busy. She noticed a similar phenomenon among many of her therapy patients: The go-getters, the high achievers, and super-reliable types in her practice were at best feeling "meh" in their day-to-day lives.

This inspired Joseph's research around what she now refers to as high-functioning depression — something that may cause people to feel anhedonia, or a lack of joy, pleasure, and interest in things they once enjoyed. In this episode, Joseph dives into this topic, as well as the five-step plan she developed for reclaiming joy.
