In the third episode of狗万官方's video series on mental health, four leaders share their mental health journeys in the form of their own red flags -- as well as strategies for moving forward when those red flags surface. We talked with American swimmerMichael Phelps, fitness entrepreneurEmily Skye,Of a Kindco-founder Claire Mazur andDIY MFAfounder Gabriela Pereira.
菲尔普斯说感觉孤立和穆迪是他的反感est warning sign, while for Mazur, it's waking up feeling depressed. For Skye, working too hard or dealing with an onslaught of stress can manifest physically in the form of headaches and trouble breathing.
"That's when I've got to stop and go, 'Okay, what's happening here?'" said Skye. "'Why am I feeling this way?'"
Identifying red flags is a good first step in managing a mental health condition. When Phelps experiences his own warning signs, he sometimes seeks out his therapist, while Skye and Mazur tend to turn to physical exercise.
