Welcome! This channel aims to help people feel and live their best - and to destigmatize mental illness. Thanks for joining us!
I'm Dr Devika Bhushan, a pediatrician, public health leader, and equity and health changemaker. In 2022, I served as the Acting Surgeon General for California. I have lived experience as a woman of color, a parent, a person with bipolar disorder, and an Indian-American immigrant to the US by way of the Philippines.
Jessi Gold, MD, is the first Chief Wellness Officer for the University of Tennessee System and serves as an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. (This conversation was recorded before she started these roles.) Dr Gold is an internationally recognized speaker, media advocate, author, and mental health consultant with a special focus on college students, healthcare workers, and the entertainment industry. She lives with depression. Dr Gold has been spreading the light for decades with her critical work, and I’m thrilled to be sharing her wisdom about optimizing well-being with all of you.
Trigger warning: We talk about systemic challenges inherent to working within the US medical system and their mental health consequences, mental illness self-disclosures, and living with depression.

SPREAD THE LIGHT WITH DR DEVIKA B:
First-person accounts of living with mental illness that aim to dispel stigma and stereotypes and instead, spread hope and light.
Because stigma festers in the dark and scatters in the light.
