Coping with severe depression, strong ambition, and high intellect
Dr. Scott Eilers
@drscotteilersAbout
The mental health field has done a terrible job of providing practical information to people. This frustrates me immensely. There absolutely are scientific, practical mental health tools that can and do change lives, and so few people are teaching them. This channel is for us: those whose needs run deeper; those of us living on the Isle of Misfits Toys. My goal for this channel is to create the highest quality information about depression and anxiety for the people who need it most; those who are living with it every day. My name is Dr. Scott. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, podcast host, and the author of the book "For When Everything Is Burning." I specialize in treating moderate to severe mood and anxiety disorders because I've lived them for decades. Disclaimer: This content is not intended to be a replacement for receiving treatment.

My personal and professional experience proves this harmful myth couldn't be further from the truth. Living at the intersection of severe depression, high cognitive ability, and strong ambition creates a uniquely challenging experience. We oscillate between periods of incredible achievement and devastating lows, never quite fitting in with either our high-functioning or struggling peers. In this video, I show you how to break free from the exhausting cycle of chasing achievement as a path to happiness. I'll guide you through building an unshakeable foundation that can weather any storm your mind creates.
