After he defended his dissertation and moved to a new lab-at Dartmouth College for a postdoc-Ian Street hoped his battles with anxiety and depression were over. He was happy about his successful thesis defense-in botany, at Washington University in St. Louis-and a change of scenery seemed just what he needed.
Then, after a breakup with his girlfriend, with the pressures of being a new postdoc taking a toll, he found the sadness, isolation, and worry returning. In St. Louis, Street had an array of resources he could rely on, available to all graduate students, from on-campus counseling to support groups. As a postdoc, however, he was no longer a tuition-paying student, and he found himself cut off from his familiar sources of support.
