🧠 ANXIETY vs DEPRESSION — They can look similar, but they are not the same.

Anxiety often involves persistent worry, fear, or a feeling of dread. It can make your mind constantly think about “What if…?” — what could go wrong, what might happen to your family, your studies, your career, or your future. When anxiety becomes persistent and starts interfering with everyday life, it may be more than normal occasional worry.

Depression is more than simply “being sad.” It can involve hopelessness, emptiness, loss of interest or pleasure, low energy, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep or appetite, and feeling disconnected from life. Some people with depression may also experience thoughts of death or suicide or suicide attempts.

And one important thing: anxiety and depression can occur together.

So if someone is struggling, telling them to “just stop thinking” or “be happy” may not help.

Sometimes what a person needs first is simply:

“I’m listening.”
“You don't have to explain everything.”
“Let's get you some support.”

Mental health struggles are not a weakness, and seeking professional help is not something to be ashamed of.

🖤 Awareness begins with understanding.

💬 Which one do people misunderstand more: anxiety or depression?

Save this for someone who may need it. 🖤

Have you ever had to navigate a decision with you and a teammate bringing conflicting information to the situation? What factors played into the decision making, especially in the context of your relationship with that person? This was the main focus of the research being conducted in the Mars mission simulation I participated in last week.

The research team had us as crew physically navigate in pairs in daily extravehicular activities (EVAs) outside our simulated Mars habitat to a target they provided, but with conflicting information sources provided to each partner. We experienced physical cues of being actually on Mars like the red Utah landscape, crackly radio communication, and a fan blowing cold air down our necks (or in our ears) inside the bulky simulated EVA suits. We had time pressure with limited Personal Life Support System (PLSS) minutes assigned to each mission.

It took us about an hour to prep for each EVA, donning the multiple devices for tracking audio, visual, location, and physiological responses such as glasses to record our eye movements and sensors to measure frontal lobe activity in our brains. I'm looking forward to seeing what all that data tells the researchers as they analyze it and start presenting and publishing results in the months and years to come!

To fill our schedules outside the daily EVA missions to simulate the fatigue and pressure of a real Mars mission, we also participated in a few other studies that I will share more about in the coming days

This past week, I worked as the Crew Scientist for an analog astronaut mission! Our incredible crew tested how astronauts will live and conduct research in space.

We lived and did experiments in isolation with constraints mimicking life on Mars to study human performance and decision-making, habitat design, medical equipment, and scientific workflows under realistic conditions. We also cooked tons of surprisingly delicious dehydrated food 😊🥖

Huge thank you to the fantastic CU Boulder and MDRS teams!
