Mental Health in Personal Development

A Perspective from Future Scientist to the HR

Good scientific research and best mental health practices go hand in hand. The physical, social, and mental well-being of doctoral researchers (DRs) is of prime importance, since they form the core group that drives scientific progress. At N2 – the network of networks, we try to bring forward some of the challenges that our DRs face on a day-to-day basis. In this article, we endeavour to shed light on some of the factors that directly contribute to poor mental health status among the DRs, and provide insights to the personnel administration as to how they can impact and improve the mental well-being of their DRs.
