As more people grapple with stress, burnout and emotional exhaustion, Dr. Judith Joseph sheds light on the depression that can hide behind achievement and productivity. In this conversation from May 2025, the New York-based psychiatrist, researcher and author of "High Functioning" joins Hoda to discuss what she calls “high-functioning depression,” how being “pathologically productive” masked her own feelings of inadequacy, and what it takes to reclaim joy. Plus, she shares how her research and personal experience helped shape a new understanding of emotional well-being.
