The Mental Health Red Flag You’ve Been Ignoring | Dr. Judith Joseph Tells All

In this eye-opening episode of Hot & Bothered, Melyssa Ford sits down with renowned psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Judith Joseph, MD, MBA, to uncover the truth behind a silent epidemic: High-Functioning Depression (HFD).

Dr. Joseph shares insights from her groundbreaking research — the first evidence-based study on HFD — and explains how countless people suffer in silence, performing at a high level while secretly battling deep emotional pain.

We explore the difference between clinical depression and high-functioning depression, the symptoms you might be missing, and how her new book offers practical tools, self-assessments, and guidance to help identify and treat HFD before it spirals.

If you've ever felt “off” but couldn’t explain why, this episode is for you.
