When we wake up, our body naturally releases a small surge of cortisol to help us feel alert, but starting the day with upsetting news triggers a much stronger stress reaction. Shocking headlines and disturbing images activate the brain’s fear center (the amygdala), switching on the “fight-or-flight” system before we’ve even fully woken up. This floods us with stress hormones, leaving us anxious, tired, and on edge. Our mirror neurons—the brain cells that help us feel what others are feeling—make us absorb some of the pain and fear we see, as if we’re experiencing it ourselves. Over time, this constant exposure overwhelms our thinking brain, fuels helplessness, and drains our emotional energy. We simply aren’t built to carry the world’s suffering before breakfast.

People often ask, ‘But he was a doctor… how could he have depression?’ We forget that doctors are human first. Knowledge doesn’t make someone immune to illness—especially one like depression, which doesn’t discriminate based on profession. In fact, the emotional burden of caregiving, high expectations, and the pressure to appear strong can make it even harder for doctors to ask for help. Depression is not a sign of weakness—it’s a medical condition. And doctors deserve care too.

This moment gave me more than just a beautiful view—it gave me space to pause. To feel the wind on my face, the silence in my chest, and the stillness in my thoughts. In a world that constantly demands us to do more, be more, chase more… this reminded me that healing sometimes means doing less. Just breathing. Just being. Mental health isn’t always about big fixes—sometimes, it’s about standing still and remembering how small your worries are and how strong your heart is.
