Can Perfectionism Lead To Depression w/Dr. Margaret Robinson Rutherford



Dr. Rutherford will be discussing her study on “Perfectly Hidden Depression” and its impact on creatives when it comes to perfectionism, imposter syndrome, mindset, and motivation.

Dr. Margaret Rutherford has been a psychologist in private practice for over twenty-five years. She began writing online in 2012, and was just narcissistic enough to believe that she might have something fresh or funny to say about what she’d learned.

Since that time, she’s launched three different versions of this website. She began a podcast called SelfWork with Dr. Margaret Rutherford. She’s created monthly FaceBook Lives for The Mighty. And now she’s excited to announce that her book, entitled Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism that Masks Your Depression, was launched in November of 2019.
