Bianca speaks with Dr. Margaret Rutherford, a clinical psychologist, who has practiced for over twenty-five years in Fayetteville, Arkansas. They have an enlightening conversation about what perfectly hidden depression is and her journey to becoming a clinical psychologist.

Dr. Margaret's passion within the last decade has been to bring compassionate and common-sense advice to her audiences, through her writing on her own website, as well as in Psychology Today, Psych Central, Himalaya, the Gottman Blog, and others. She hosts a highly popular podcast, The SelfWork Podcast, which is consistently ranked in the top 50 of US mental health podcasts and has been chosen by several mental health websites as one of ten best mental health podcasts of 2021.  She's also given monthly Facebook Live presentations for Mental Health On The Mighty for five years, and is finding her voice here on Fireside with a new show called SelfWork Chat!  Her book Perfectly Hidden Depression (New Harbinger, 2019) also focuses a much-needed light on the dangerous link between destructive perfectionism, depression, and suicidal thought, and earned a spot in Parade Magazine’s “Top Ten Books on Depression” for 2021.
