Sophie Calder is a psychologist and mental health writer with a Master's degree in Psychology (Grade A) from the University of Michigan, where she also completed a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Gender Studies and Psychology between 2016 and 2022.

Her academic training is backed by direct clinical and field experience across multiple mental health and healthcare settings in the United States β€” including work with children facing psychological distress, trauma, and social vulnerability at Ellie Mental Health, as well as clinical internships with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

Sophie's background in gender studies deepens her understanding of how social, cultural, and systemic factors shape mental health β€” particularly for women, children, and vulnerable communities. At Gendrics, she applies this academic and clinical knowledge to create mental health content that is accurate, evidence-informed, and genuinely accessible to everyday readers.

All articles published on Gendrics are written in alignment with research from the American Psychological Association (APA), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and peer-reviewed clinical literature.

Imagine this: you're at the kitchen table, laptop open for a key video interview. Suddenly, the heart races. Palms sweat. The chest tightens. The room feels smaller. Within seconds, sudden anxiety threatens to derail everything prepared for weeks.

Every year on October 10, people worldwide focus on mental health awareness. World Mental Health Day is a chance to talk about mental health. It helps us learn about global issues and support those facing emotional challenges.

Every June, Men's Mental Health Month highlights the emotional challenges men face globally. High male suicide rates and untreated mental health issues are serious problems. Yet, this important awareness period gets little attention.
