The book investigates why mental health issues are so common among the postgraduate population, going beyond the statistics, looking at lived experience of both the author and as well as current PhD students, who have found balancing mental wellness with the PhD endeavour challenging. The author discusses tips and tricks she wished she had known at the start of her PhD process for managing mental health, such as managing imposter feelings, prioritizing workload, and self-care strategies to help others throughout their own journey. The book goes beyond typical mental health discussions (where the focus for improving mental health is placed on PhD students to become "more resilient" and explores some of the often unspoken environmental factors that can impact mental health. These include the PhD student-supervisor relationship, the pressure to publish, and deep systemic problems in academia, such as racism, bullying and harassment. Finally, the book is a call to action, providing tangible improvements from the authors perspective that university institutions can make to ensure that academia is a place for all to thrive."--$$cProvided by publisher. 001449884 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 28, 2022). 001449884 650_0 $$aDoctoral students$$xMental health. 001449884 650_0 $$aStudents$$xHealth and hygiene. 001449884 650_0 $$aMental health. 001449884 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449884 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAyres, Zoë J.$$tManaging your mental health during your PhD.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, [2022]$$z3031141938$$w(OCoLC)1334883130 001449884 852__ $$bebk 001449884 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-14194-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449884 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449884$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449884 980__ $$aBIB 001449884 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449884 982__ $$aEbook 001449884 983__ $$aOnline 001449884 994__ $$a92$$bISE
