The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

Despite accounting for ~15% of the national burden of disease, only ~8% of total health expenditure goes towards addressing mental ill-health – far below the 34% that Aussies expect.

Such a huge issue and I do wonder if it is under-reported. The gap puts critical medical and health treatment out of reach for so many - including psychologists and psychologists.
