DESCRIPTION:12:00 “A mental health perspective in Spain: an unknown emer
 ging problem”\n\nMaría Emilia Rodríguez Rodríguez (psychiatrist in me
 ntal health\, Requena Center\, Spain)\n\nAbstract: \n\nStressful style of
  life is related with the increase of stress related psychopathologies in
  all populations. However\, not all populations have the same risk: there 
 exist stressful situations that can trigger mental disorder in vulnerable
  persons. If the stress is high enough and continued\, it may provoke pro
 blems in people with no mental vulnerability too. One of this kind of sit
 uations is detected in a high emotional demand environment as the scienti
 fic one\, where results are not often immediate or they are not the expect
 ed ones.\nScientists are sometimes poorly recognized in Spain. Both their 
 working and salary conditions are often precarious. Scientists spend many
  hours in a lonely work environment in detriment of family and leisure ti
 me. The lack of social life causes more vulnerability to suffer mental di
 seases. In this talk we will learn about the situation of anxiety and othe
 r stress-related problems in the scientific and university population.\n\
 n12:30:  "Mental Health in Academia: a Graduate Student Perspective"\n\n
  Andrea J. Welsh (Physics Graduate Research Assistant\, Georgia Institute
  of Technology)\n\nAbstract: \n\nDepression\, anxiety\, and a host of oth
 er mental illnesses are known to affect \ngraduate students disproportion
 ately\, possibly due to issues of gender\, lack of \nmentorship\, poor wo
 rk-life balance\, and other factors. In this talk\, I will discuss what me
 ntal health is\, some factors that affect mental health\, and offer possi
 ble suggestions about how to create a community that is overall more incl
 usive. Finally\, pulling from my own experiences in the physics Ph.D. pro
 gram at the Georgia Institute of Technology\, I will discuss the difficult
 ies that I\, as well as other graduate students\, face\, the resources th
 at I have used for support\, and \nhow I found a comfortable balance betw
 een my work and self-care.\n \n\n \n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/33
