Dr. Judith Joseph Joins 2026 TIME100 Creators
Dr. Judith Joseph joins the 2026 TIME100 Creators list as its only physician, sharing accessible mental health information online.
Dr. Judith Joseph has been named to the 2026 TIME100 Creators list, joining 100 digital voices selected by TIME for reach, originality, and impact. The board-certified psychiatrist and author of High Functioning is the only physician on this year’s list. Her work makes mental health science, including information on high-functioning depression, available through digital platforms. The full list appears in TIME’s July 27, 2026 issue and is available online.
Mental Health Information Online
Joseph has built a digital audience by sharing clinical insight for people seeking accessible mental health information. Her recognition places a medical professional among creators working across platforms and formats.
“This recognition means so much because it validates what I've always believed — that medicine and social media aren't at odds with each other. They can work together to reach people who need real, accurate information about their mental health, often in the very moments they're searching for it,”
A Sole Physician On The List
As the only doctor included in the 2026 group, Joseph’s selection highlights the place for medical expertise in online public education.
“Being the only doctor on this list is a reminder of how much work there still is to do — to show people that credible medical voices belong in these spaces, not just alongside them,”
