In this video, Holly Brook, Ph.D., a Stafford Fox Centenary Fellow of Rare Cancer Biology and Genomics, shares what she wanted from the people around her when she was experiencing depression.

Holly shares that when she was really going through it, she realized that people really STRUGGLED to understand what she was going through. ❗
