There's a stigma surrounding mental health-related issues, like depression, stress, anxiety, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), among others. As a result, many people find it shameful to admit that they are struggling mentally, often feeling fear and shame around being labeled as weak.

Dr. Whitney Wright found himself faced with this challenge as a practicing orthodontist. As he continued growing and expanding his DSO, he became depressed due to the emotional toll it took on him. Once he started having panic attacks on the chair, he decided to do something about it.

Dr. Whitney Wright, Founder of The Wright Talk Podcast, joins Craig Weiss and Blair Feldman in this week's episode of the In Your Face Podcast to talk about his work advocating for mental health in the dentistry and orthodontic professions. Dr. Wright shares his personal experience with his mental health and explains how social media contributes to issues surrounding mental health. Stay tuned.
