Depression at work: I wanted to hide it from everyone

For Geoff, mental health was something briefly touched on in medical school as something to be aware of in patients. Not himself. Doctors don't get sick. So when the stresses of work started to catch up with him, Geoff didn't know what to do. And it was a long time before he sought help.

Hear Geoff reflect on his experiences at medical school and in the field, how he manages his mental health today, and his dreams for the medical industry.
