I've known too many colleagues who ended up self-medicating through graduate school in self-destructive ways. Who probably could have used therapy but sure as hell couldn't afford it on a graduate stipend. It doesn't make better scholars. It isn't necessary.

I've kept a list from being a graduate student. Another as an adjunct. Things I want to be sure I do, things I want to be sure I don't , if I ever make it to TT R1. Probably that never happens here, but I keep the list; refuse to be another link in a chain of mistreatment.

(Though I should that I, personally, had the best of advisors at both my MA and PhD level - advisors who checked in, who encouraged me, who actually cared about my project. And the institutions where I have adjuncted have treated me very well, by the standards of adjuncts.)

My grad program in a social science had a 90% divorce rate. At the time, my university had the highest suicide rate & the highest rape rate in the U.S. Grad school was hell. I chose a less competitive law school after grad school to escape the mental health torment.
