Many academics’ reluctance to publicly disclose their struggles complicates attempts to understand their experiences through research or popular media, or to develop targeted mental health resources and institutional policies. This volume builds on the existing studies in this greatly under-researched area of mental health among faculty, administrators, and graduate students in higher education. The chapters’ research findings will help institutions communicate about mental health in culturally-competent and person-centered ways; create work environments conducive to mental well-being; and support their academic employees who have mental health challenges. This book argues that discussions of health and wellness, equity, workload expectations and productivity, and campus diversity must also cover chronic illness and disability, which include mental health and mental illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatie Rose Guest Pryal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeresa Heinz Housel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeresa Heinz Housel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Mental Distress and Mental Illness in Academic Culture \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: The Perfect Storm of Mental Health-Related Issues in Academia and the Need for Critical Research and Policies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeresa Heinz Housel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Anxiety in Academia: An Autoethnographic Account \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea L.
