When does everyday stress, worry, or sadness become something more? In this episode of Mental Note, Ellie Pike talks with psychiatrist Dr. Matt Pierson about the ways mood and anxiety disorders can show up in ways we don't always recognize, and when it may be time to seek help.
They explore the physical symptoms of depression and anxiety—from stomach problems and headaches to chronic fatigue and jaw tension—as well as panic attacks, rumination, emotional numbness, and the hidden signs that can be easy to miss. Dr. Pierson also explains why mental illness is not a personal failure, how genetics and life experiences both shape mental health, what higher levels of care can actually look like, and how newer treatments like TMS and ketamine are changing the field of psychiatry.
