“Personal concealment serves no advantage at all: not for the person affected, for the employer or for a society deprived of the very real contributions people with invisible disabilities would otherwise stand to make.” Couldn’t agree more. #invisibleillness #MedTwitter

"When my depression mushrooms, I shun visibility; I walk so close to buildings that my shoulder becomes dirty. Because my intermittent disability is invisible, in the thick of it I have often felt compelled to make myself invisible." nyti.ms/3gWNZaF

A common myth in medicine: doctors are healthy and patients are sick, w/ no overlap. In reality, docs, like patients, are humans first, and most humans will face illness at some point in life. As a future doc w/ a chronic illness, I’m proud to see docs speaking out to end stigma.

I’m an ER doctor. I’ve seen a therapist and have been on antidepressants. Our system considers this a red flag, instead of a positive signal that I’m taking the best care of myself possible. This needs to change.
