I am 23 and I'm still living with my parents due to expensive cost of living and also student debt. It's nothing wrong with everyone being adorable living with their best parents in order to save money. I love you bro
Thanks for sharing Keith and glad that you're back, mental health is real although we can't see it, really appreciate your wisdom 😊 Oh and that snapping effect is really awesome!
Why living with parents is bad? This is what I never understand... when they r getting older u can help them.. what's the meaning u raise a kid to 18 and then they leave u.. btw MIT grad is already a triumph! 😻 u r always the best for me..
Yeah, it's definitely not a bad thing. For me I felt like I wouldn't be able to live on my own so that's why I felt some shame to live with my parents. I felt like I was a burden to them. Now that I'm feeling better, I'm very grateful to be living with my parents and I very much enjoy it. Thank you for the kind words.
i know. I love my parents they are a great emotional support for me and I want to see them as much as possible when they're still alive and healthy. I'm in grad school and barely seeing them now but when I graduate I'm gonna get a get a job near my parents house and live with them until I get married. Also I think it's a cultural thing too because in my country living with your parents is not a shameful thing at all
Mental health is vitally important, and I feel like it is too often overlooked in the tech domain. Thanks for having the courage to talk about your experience. I'm certain this will help many people to know that they aren't alone feeling things like this. Glad to have you back Keith!
Your fear of letting other people down just tells me how much you care for other people. You've got the heart in the right place, and that's what matters. Huge respect for your honesty. I think a lot people can relate to what you have experienced. \Cheers
@@KeithGalli In 2016 .. I joined a startup and that's my transition from regular MNCs to small startups.. All the team members and people from other teams are from Tier-1 college with very good communication skills and I lack both knowledge and skills.. i woke up everyday with a fear of facing my managers and couldn't sleep in the nights due to stress and pressure. After working for 1.5 years .. i just gave up.. without waiting for a new offer.. I resigned and went home and took a break for 3 months. all I did was just Sleep, Eat, Watch my favorite tv shows and movies with my parents and sister and stopped thinking about others. I couldn't believe what happened next.. I was fully recovered from stress .. and I chose to work in a company where the work pressure is not high but decent and used that period to cool off and learn new skills.. then moved on.. every person would've come across this cycle.. irrespective of their skill set.. congrats you passed that hard phase in your life and it will make you stronger going forward... Good luck for your next assignment!!
"As bleak as it may seem, do your best to hang in there. I at times had given up and didn't see what the point was. But being on the other side, I can see how great things can be again once the storm withers down." Thanks for this wisdom Keith. I'm so grateful to hear you're feeling better.
I’ve only recently realised how important it is, to be selfish and focus on personal growth rather than worrying about how others feel and constantly trying to make others happy. The moment you make this switch, life become easier.
You have played a huge part in helping me improve my skills, change careers and get more than a decent job. For that I will forever be grateful to you, brother. You are an inspiration to many, and for that you can hold your head up high. Lots of strength and loads of love to you Keith. Keep smiling.
I relate a lot with you, im 33 came out of best business school in my country and living with my parents. Mainly I learned I had ADHD and general axiety disorder. Mainly my life has been dictated by these and its a struggle to deal with those. I had huge burnout and then chronic condition. Now im trying to get back into work after couple of years, I’ve just finished the data science program at MIT online school, hoping this will land me a good position.
When we enter in such a technique world like DS we often forget that behind all the dataframes, the models and the graphics there is actually people. Thank you for being in front of the cameras again and teach us, which is probably, the most important lesson.
Just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me become a better programmer. I am grateful for that. It's really good to have you back. Looking forward to your amazing programming videos.
Hi Keith, it is truly a blessing that I stumbled upon this video. I could relate to your story so well --graduated from a top Uni, worked in a startup (client success team also) and felt extremely miserable, quit my job shortly but felt no relief at all due to anxiety, disappointment at myself, feeling like a failure/imposter, and shame. I also moved back with my parents, and I am a content creator as well (I make content mostly on Tiktok). None of the people around me are like this, so seeing this video is the first time when I feel relived and know that I am not alone. Seeing that you got thru the whole thing encourages me soooo much. I cannot thank you enough for this--I honestly didn't know how to cope with all the negative feelings! Thanks again for the video. All the best!
Hey Harry, sorry to hear that you have gone through something similar, but glad that this video helped you find some relief. This type of thing can feel so isolating, know that you're not alone and things get better (no matter how hard that may seem to believe). Hoping for all the best for you in 2023 🙏
Thank you for being so honest and sharing your experience. My sister has been through similar mental health issue and it was very tough. Glad to see you back! Wish you all the best.
I've only come to notice this video. It's hard for one to realize his/her influence in this online environment, but know that you've helped a LOT in this career shifting journey I go through. Imagine, guiding someone halfway across the globe in Indonesia. One day when I'm finally able to transition my job to analytics/DS, I owe a large sum of it to you Keith. And that doesn't include countless other you've shed your knowledge on. Hope you're in a better state of mind now, Godspeed Keith!
Keith I cannot begin to tell you the transformation you have brought to my life. I tried so many different resources to learn basic programming to help with my research as I was stuck at home and away from my research lab, ironically even the free courseware from MIT didn't do much for me. Your casual approach including going straight to the point and making errors as you teach really clicked with me. I went from knowing nothing to embracing scary things like machine and deeplearning in a matter of just a few weeks. It totally changed my approach to research and I went from feeling stuck, and also having a hard time dealing with the major suck that was 2020 and all its anger, anxiety, loneliness and despair, and it really really helped my psych and career. I also have encouraged young people in my research field that coding is achievable and opens many doors for research and life by holding a basics workshop at a global conference. There's a cascading effect to what you do! It's really cool seeing you talk about your mental health so openly and publicly. This is not easy. You are not alone! (donated in your honor)
Never suspected that from you, your content is so upbeat and your personality so dynamic. As an older person, I can only recommend that you find a pace of living that allows you to appreciate people around you and their support and that you keep this very curious brain of yours fed with knowledge and new challenges. Enjoy life, enjoy learning. Thanks for sharing and we are lucky to have you producing quality content again.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Although you've helped me so much with your tutorial videos, but this video is the one that I find the most helpful. There's so many things to relate and learn from this video, like to know that I'm not alone going through such things like not doing anything productive or useful for my future despite knowing that I can very well do them, and to know that no matter how bad it is, there's always hope and you can get the control of you life back and be successful and happy. And although some of these things are said by some other people as well but coming from you, someone i really look up to, these just hit on a different level. I could go on and on but again thank you so much for sharing this. I wish nothing but the best for you and hope and pray that you become the happiest and the most successful than you've ever been.
I’m speechless. I’m so proud of you for sharing your story. God is going to use this trial in your life for so much good, which started with this video!
imagine how many people you can reach when a brilliant person like you chooses to share your story and struggles with mental health. shame and stigma can be debilitating for some. big props mad respect and you, thanks for sharing x
I had the same experience with depression. I'm still in the process of working my brain to be back to where it used to be. Staying with family and time definitely help. I'm glad you got out of it and I hope you will never go back to that path again.
Keith, I want to express my gratitude for your data science and sentiment analysis tutorials. They've helped me to go the extra mile in my current analytics job. Thank you very much! Wishing you good health, a fulfilling journey, and a happy cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee.
I'm proud of you. I hope that you can see how making your RUclips videos are somewhat therapeutic, getting things off your chest. You have given many of us so much with your videos and you should know that we are all rooting for your success.
Thank you so much for sharing this man. I appreciate your effort. I found it very relatable. I graduated with a CS degree last year and went through almost similar experiences myself. Got a software engineering job. And got really caught up with completing daily tasks and to do lists. It was extremely stressful. And also the work home made everything more stressful. I was constantly looking out for any text messages on slack. It was a nightmare. I got 10 years older within just 6 months. Started building up anxiety. But kept telling myself I was feeling these because I am lazy. It was really bad for me. I decided to quit and give myself some time off. But I got another job offer right away after quitting and took it. I don't know if it was a good idea or bad idea cause just like you I also didn't give myself enough time to self reflect on my anxieties. And the reason I took the second job cause I was feeling a totally different sort of pressure which was having no job. So although I was out of work pressure I found myself into a different situation. So I guess the problem was in my head. For which even though the second job was lot more fun but slowly that too got into my head and I started to feel bad again. It was a nightmare. I quit that job too after 5 months and now decided to just take some time off and decide for myself what I really want to do for the next 10 years with some hope that I will get some clarity about my life. So keep sharing your journey because it will help me too. Thanks for reading
Glad that this video resonated with you. Sorry to hear that you went through similar experiences :/. Sounds like you have the right mindset now. I hope all the best for your future!!
I can feel what you have been feeling. Probably in the same situation. Boston can get depressing too I know. But happy that you’re back. You are giving hope . Thanks for sharing.
Im super happy you made this video. I really dont wanna feel, not working, not coding, if i dont do them im gonna be nothing but a empty shell. The line, "hang in there " have been giving me the tolerance to push through in my tough times and seeing you using the exact words made me really happy.
Glad to see you back. I love your videos, I've learned a lot from you. And I'm struggling mentally myself too, so I know how you feel, and knowing that you're still around makes me even happier. Welcome back!
This morning, I came across your videos and have already watched a couple. I truly appreciate and enjoy your style. Having experienced a wide range of emotions and mental states, I've come to realize the significant correlation between mental health and diet. While positive self-image and outlook are crucial, the Standard American Diet is notably problematic. Personally, reducing my carb intake has remarkably lifted the brain fog, enhanced cognitive abilities, and improved my capacity to handle life's imperfections and annoyances. It may sound unconventional, but there's a substantial community and numerous individuals with anecdotal evidence supporting this. Both my wife and I, along with other family members, can attest to the mental clarity that comes with better eating habits. At the very least, opting for a clean diet is essential. Eliminate processed foods from the center aisles of the store and focus on the outer aisles. In any case, I wish you the best, and thank you for the valuable content you create.
@@KeithGalli That is great!! Be happy you figured that out early in life, at least I assume that. Took me until I got into my mid to late 30s before I figured that out. As you age, it gets worse too, insulin resistance is what it is called and the older you get, the less you are able to handle the glucose and insulin dumps. Good luck to you buddy and thanks again for the videos. I am subscribed and will keep coming back.
It takes a lot of courage to share something personal as this in public. I too remember going through something similar during the pandemic and my parents especially my mom helped me through it too. :) Kudos man! With or without MIT… you are amazing. 🤠❤️
This video is very valuable to share Keith, thank you so much. I am struggling with anxiety for some time now because of the uncertainity in life in general - but I can see the point where everything gets better in time, I am also getting support from a therapist which helps big time. This is a very important video for young adults like me, took my feeling of feeling alone in this situation away. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for being so open about your experiences and it’s great to have you back! We can all relate to the struggles of finding ourselves in the crazy modern day society. There is absolutely nothing wrong with living with parents and it’s a great blessing to have family and friends. I’ve found it really helpful to take time everyday to journal about my personal growth and all of the little joys in life. Take care!
Hello Keith, it's really great you put this video out here. Apart from helping people with data science, you are also helping people with overcoming their mental health challenges. I'll like to say you have inspired me and your data science videos have taught me a lot. Even though we are of the same age, I am really inspired by you and what you do.
Hey you have made some awesome and easy to digest and practice videos on several tech stuff. I am a computer science engineer/software developer too, and mental health and right now during these times where mostly all IT department works at home it is vital to be centered as part of a topic to be discussed in HR system or companies policies... I will suggest (which I know nobody ask me) to keep focusing what brings joy and what helps you to follow that ladder and embrace it. I only wish you to keep going on that path on which you are, do whatever that hell makes you happy but never put yourself the pressure of "where should I be if I still be working on the startup or the intership"... what everybody and I am also talking as a relief from my inner thoughts, is to anchor yourself to the moment and start ignoring all outside noises that all they do is put pressure to your self-esteem and hits you with negative vibes. Hang in there man
Bro you are so lucky that you don't even know it. In 1979 My dad was just about to get transformed from the Boston university to MIT and he was studying mathematics. One day my aunt called and informed him that revolutionaries have seized his home, lands, car, bank accounts, etc. (He had to teach since he was 18 to buy them). He left the uni and U.S overnight and flew thousands of kilometers to take his life back. Now he is 82 and months ago he told me that he was in such a rush that when he left, he forgot to pay his phone bill (20 dollars) to a company called bell and asked me to find the company so he can pay it. Now I (his son) am living in Germany and I had deep brain stimulation because I got ill at 26. I really want to study math in MIT but they don't allow me because I already have another bachelor's degree. P.S: living with parents is not pathetic, i don't know why you say so.
Thanks Keith for sharing all this! Glad you are feeling better now! Your videos have definitely helped me a lot for getting on Python and DS, look forward to more great content from you!
Keith is very inspiring and helpful for people going through depression or losing their way. I'll pass this video to my grandson, he is 20 and suffering from depression and being lost. In my time we just went to the army for 2 years and hoped for the best! Somehow, it did work but you have to go through mental suffering and physical endurance. I would certainly not advise anyone to go to the army!
Hey Keith, thanks for putting this out. The worst thing about losing mental health is that you are never sure what is it that’s causing your problems. The 1st step towards solving a problem is to realise that it exists and not just shun it off. Unfortunately mental health is still a taboo in my country so its really hard for someone to understand why they are unhappy. Mental health is as real as it gets.
It was great to see the notification on my phone from Keith!! Sorry to hear about the depression, and I've seen myself in the video, always laughing but in depression. However, like in the last section, it's great to see you excited about being back with great ideas!! Wishing health to everyone reading this.
love to see you back. You dont know how much i love to watch ur video, the way u think, the way u teach and ur voice Wishing u and ur family health and happiness Love from VietNam
its great to have you back Keith. every fans miss you so much. you're the best tutorial lecturer i've ever seen on this platform. i suffered from depression too. I understand what you been through and that's a horrifying experience even to remember. it's wonderful to see smile appear on your face again.
Keith, first of all, I just want to say that your videos on data science got me a great gig as an analyst at Sony Music! I’m truthfully very thankful. I also had a very tough and dark time a couple years ago, I was dealing with GAD and was miserable for quite some time, it got better for me eventually, and I’m really glad to hear the same from you. Mental health is no joke and I just wanted you to know you’re not alone.
I just saw this from two years ago. Thanks for sharing your story. I appreciate it. Your candor does everybody a big favor. And, of course I saw it because i like your tutorials so much, and I wandered back through your catalog. Keep teaching!
Sharing this means a lot mate! I’m glad you find joy in teaching because you look natural doing so. I only follow you for a month or so bug your videos and especially your style of teaching really help with Python. If you continue uploading I’ll be there watching. I recently watched an episode of Impaulsive where one co-host said that the sharpest weapon a human has is it’s mind and if that mind is fighting against you, you battle your sharpest weapon and your hardest fight. I hope you can continue mastering your weapon because you can help us and put a lot of smiles in peoples faces! print(‘smile’) print(‘Love from Germany!’) print(‘Thanks Keith’)
This happened to me as well when I was an undergrad at UCSD in 2011. I was failing at a bunch of quarters & had to be recommended emergency psychiatric counseling. Sad part was it still took me 6-7 years to develop healthy routines and strategies for dealing with stress & depression.
Sorry to hear that you went through something similar :/. Everyone is on their own timeline, I'm happy that you were able to develop healthy routines after a few years. I'm sure that you've gained a lot of wisdom and compassion in the process.
You single-handedly got me excited to start my data analytics journey with your "Solving real world data science tasks with Python Pandas!" video and here I am two years later in a data science role. To thank you isn't enough mate. I know I'm just one of thousands, and not many people can vouch for having that great of a positive impact on this world. You're an absolute G and we're happy to see you back mate.
You’re an inspiration and have such a knack for explaining things clearly. The video on webscraping with Beautiful Soup opened up a whole new world for me. I can’t thank you enough! Thank you for bringing awareness and being you.
My hat off for you, Keith. You did not only inspired me to learn coding although I never touched computer keyboard in high school, but also echoing how discrepancies between expectations and realities drive us to the edge in our isolated corners of the world. You're a hero, buddy!
You are an inspiration with highs and lows, it is okay not to feel well all the time. You are an amazingly gifted and talented person... Please do not ever second guess who you are or how you function.. Pressure can shut all of us down.. remember what it is you have to offer and hopefully the world can understand and wait for you!!!!!!!!!! Please do not stop the videos you have so much to offer and you tell it so everyone can understand!
Glad to hear that you feel better and welcome back! Have learned so much about data science from your videos. Keep up the good work and most importantly, stay healthy!
thank you so much for sharing your story, I'm sure it wasn't easy, but I believe it will help a lot of people. mental health is so incredibly important and I'm glad you were able to find the help you needed. look forward to see what you do next, I'm rooting for you!!
Keith, you are the man who taught me Python from a true beginner. Your videos are full of fun which is better than many Python tutorials. It matters a lot to us!
the pressure to excel in life could be overwhelming: you feel like you have to go forward no matter what, especially when you are responsible for others. it is very brave of you to share your story. i feel like in today's society it's not allowed for men to express emotions and take care of mental health, and this is unfortunate. it got to change. good to see that you're doing better
Hey man I just started an online Data Science course and went on YT to find some more info and stumbled upon your channel. It took me 5 mins of watching one of your vids to like and subscribe to your channel (something i usually never do unless content is optimal). I hope you keep building on tutoring and making new videos. Helping us (the YT community) might as well help you day after day. So thanks for your time, and I hope I can keep learning from you :D
So happy you are back! Thanks for telling us your story and being transparent. I am actually glad you "let the team down" versus not being on this earth. You have too many amazing things to accomplish before you leave. Just remember tomorrow is another day and it will always be better. Looking forward to more great videos!
Thanks for sharing your story, I think it will help a lot of people. Glad to hear that you are doing better. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Take care of yourself.
Keith, you helped me through my graduate school and I want to say I identify with a lot of what you’ve said here, you’re not the only one! I’ve been held back significantly by major mood issues that have affected my work and my life profoundly. Like you alluded to, they often start so small and creep up so slowly that I don’t notice myself going from highly productive to spending hours laying on my floor trying to talk myself into doing just one productive thing, at least basic hygiene, or a little bit of cleaning, even playing a video game or something would be nice at that point. When I notice that I feel like the worst person in the entire world, like “how can I hold my life together if I can’t even motivate myself to play a video game?” I know during those times I feel so alone and isolated. Logically I can hear people saying “just make yourself do things” and somehow still just lay on the floor. So far I’ve always eventually found a way out of those dark times and have been able to generally mitigate the negative impact on my life, and in fact the most recent time I remember feeling like that was a month or two ago. Now I’m really working hard with a therapist on how to lessen the impact of those long-lasting low moods and hopefully prevent them altogether. I’m never happy to hear about another person suffering and I really hope you (and I, and everyone else) can stay well and happy, but I will say that hearing about other people with similar career paths dealing with similar issues lessens the isolation that comes along with it. Thank you for being so public about this, and let me add my voice to the message to anyone currently struggling, you are not alone. Stay well Keith, keeping making a difference however you see fit!
this is why i always say , do whatever works for you , period . as long as you aren't breaking the law or hurting somebody you are all good . if you are already making good money with something , don't change it continue doing it . also , take care of your health and have some rest , some people think we are made of metal like machines and we don't feel anything but that's not true .
As an educator who also struggles with the realities of mental health struggles, burnout, etc. Please know that I have found your tutorials enormously helpful and clear. You are a gifted and unique person, thank you for your honesty. Would you accept a virtual hug from a stranger?
Hi Bro, just want to mention it is glad to see u again and what you did in RUclips really helps me a lot. Learning python with u is a part of my life in the past years. Hope u enjoy your life and keep bringing us fantastic things.
Your videos have been super helpful for me as I balance parenting 3 kids, working, and starting a Data Science Masters, while being married to a surgeon who is really struggling with depression during Covid burnout. I wish you the very best in your future, and I want to take this moment to say thank you for your educational efforts. Your teaching videos have decreased my stress incredibly and helped me use my time well so I can take better care of myself as I balance all my responsibilities. With your teaching videos I feel like I can make better progress towards my homework in the time that I have, instead of banging my head against long-ass pandas error messages. You have value no matter what you produce, but I appreciate your effort to teach. And I appreciate your willingness to make this video. I didn't know that Movember was a charity! I thought it was just a moustache-growing competition. Best wishes for your health and building life of meaning on your own terms.
I am protective and considerate over my parents no matter how dysfunctional, I sacrificed much of my earnings, my future plans, to make sure we all had a means to survive. I'm the youngest child, and yet, my responsibility was to sacrifice for my family. It gets crazy when you're starting over, still living with them, but I know that I'm trying to build something more from myself, make ground rules to better secure any earnings, and gain better wisdom. I've battled suicidal thoughts when gaging my worth as a human being when unemployed, but beat them so that I could focus and stop feeling sorry for myself it's incredibly difficult if you guys share these sensations. Stay strong and FACE THE MOUNTAIN, guys
Man your Data Science videos are at next level. Definitely the best content out there. Anyways great to have you back. Just know that you've helped a lot of guys including me through your teaching.
glad to see u again！ I was imperssed by your pandas vedio, that really helped me a lot during my study in UK! Now I am back in china and got to see this vedio, life is full of trouble, but believe in yourself, what doesnt kill u makes u stronger!
Hey man! Just want to let you know that I've learned a great deal from your videos, and thanks to that I love data science more. Much appreciated. Glad to see you are doing better :D
I just discovered your channel yesterday. I am going through exactly this right now and I connected a lot of dots that I couldn't make sense of before.... Thank you for sharing this
Just know you've improved the lives of countless people so you matter to a lot of us
Yes thanks to Keith my python skills are going ballistic
Can't agree more. Great help to my business life. Thanks!

Yes! Thank you so much. You’ve helped my son who went through the eerily same experiences!
I am 23 and I'm still living with my parents due to expensive cost of living and also student debt. It's nothing wrong with everyone being adorable living with their best parents in order to save money. I love you bro
Agreed, nothing wrong with it!
Thanks for sharing Keith and glad that you're back, mental health is real although we can't see it, really appreciate your wisdom 😊
Oh and that snapping effect is really awesome!
Thanks Chanin! And lol glad you enjoyed the quick outfit changes xD

Why living with parents is bad? This is what I never understand... when they r getting older u can help them.. what's the meaning u raise a kid to 18 and then they leave u.. btw MIT grad is already a triumph! 😻 u r always the best for me..
Yeah, it's definitely not a bad thing. For me I felt like I wouldn't be able to live on my own so that's why I felt some shame to live with my parents. I felt like I was a burden to them. Now that I'm feeling better, I'm very grateful to be living with my parents and I very much enjoy it. Thank you for the kind words.
@@KeithGalli I think it is a cultural thing, especially for US citizens lol
i know. I love my parents they are a great emotional support for me and I want to see them as much as possible when they're still alive and healthy. I'm in grad school and barely seeing them now but when I graduate I'm gonna get a get a job near my parents house and live with them until I get married.
Also I think it's a cultural thing too because in my country living with your parents is not a shameful thing at all
@@KeithGalli you can do that shit brah

Mental health is vitally important, and I feel like it is too often overlooked in the tech domain. Thanks for having the courage to talk about your experience. I'm certain this will help many people to know that they aren't alone feeling things like this. Glad to have you back Keith!
Thank you, Ken! Excited to be back :)

Keith, you have helped me and countless others with getting into Data Analytics.
Your mental health is very important and we just want you to be ok.
Your fear of letting other people down just tells me how much you care for other people. You've got the heart in the right place, and that's what matters. Huge respect for your honesty. I think a lot people can relate to what you have experienced. \Cheers
I appreciate your kind words ❤️

"As bleak as it may seem, do your best to hang in there. I at times had given up and didn't see what the point was. But being on the other side, I can see how great things can be again once the storm withers down." Thanks for this wisdom Keith. I'm so grateful to hear you're feeling better.
Thank you, Quincy :)
I’ve only recently realised how important it is, to be selfish and focus on personal growth rather than worrying about how others feel and constantly trying to make others happy. The moment you make this switch, life become easier.
You have played a huge part in helping me improve my skills, change careers and get more than a decent job. For that I will forever be grateful to you, brother. You are an inspiration to many, and for that you can hold your head up high. Lots of strength and loads of love to you Keith. Keep smiling.
Happy to see you back, you've taught me a lot.
I relate a lot with you, im 33 came out of best business school in my country and living with my parents. Mainly I learned I had ADHD and general axiety disorder. Mainly my life has been dictated by these and its a struggle to deal with those. I had huge burnout and then chronic condition. Now im trying to get back into work after couple of years, I’ve just finished the data science program at MIT online school, hoping this will land me a good position.
You're a great tutor. I've learned a lot from you. The world needs more good people like you... I wish you the best.
When we enter in such a technique world like DS we often forget that behind all the dataframes, the models and the graphics there is actually people. Thank you for being in front of the cameras again and teach us, which is probably, the most important lesson.
Just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me become a better programmer. I am grateful for that. It's really good to have you back. Looking forward to your amazing programming videos.
Hi Keith, it is truly a blessing that I stumbled upon this video. I could relate to your story so well --graduated from a top Uni, worked in a startup (client success team also) and felt extremely miserable, quit my job shortly but felt no relief at all due to anxiety, disappointment at myself, feeling like a failure/imposter, and shame. I also moved back with my parents, and I am a content creator as well (I make content mostly on Tiktok).
None of the people around me are like this, so seeing this video is the first time when I feel relived and know that I am not alone. Seeing that you got thru the whole thing encourages me soooo much. I cannot thank you enough for this--I honestly didn't know how to cope with all the negative feelings!
Thanks again for the video. All the best!
Hey Harry, sorry to hear that you have gone through something similar, but glad that this video helped you find some relief. This type of thing can feel so isolating, know that you're not alone and things get better (no matter how hard that may seem to believe). Hoping for all the best for you in 2023 🙏
Thank you for being so honest and sharing your experience. My sister has been through similar mental health issue and it was very tough. Glad to see you back! Wish you all the best.
I've only come to notice this video. It's hard for one to realize his/her influence in this online environment, but know that you've helped a LOT in this career shifting journey I go through. Imagine, guiding someone halfway across the globe in Indonesia. One day when I'm finally able to transition my job to analytics/DS, I owe a large sum of it to you Keith. And that doesn't include countless other you've shed your knowledge on.
Hope you're in a better state of mind now, Godspeed Keith!
Keith I cannot begin to tell you the transformation you have brought to my life. I tried so many different resources to learn basic programming to help with my research as I was stuck at home and away from my research lab, ironically even the free courseware from MIT didn't do much for me. Your casual approach including going straight to the point and making errors as you teach really clicked with me. I went from knowing nothing to embracing scary things like machine and deeplearning in a matter of just a few weeks. It totally changed my approach to research and I went from feeling stuck, and also having a hard time dealing with the major suck that was 2020 and all its anger, anxiety, loneliness and despair, and it really really helped my psych and career. I also have encouraged young people in my research field that coding is achievable and opens many doors for research and life by holding a basics workshop at a global conference. There's a cascading effect to what you do!
It's really cool seeing you talk about your mental health so openly and publicly. This is not easy. You are not alone! (donated in your honor)
Glad to hear it! ❤. Thanks for the message & sharing your own experiences.
We've all missed you -- a _lot_ so, big welcome back.
Never suspected that from you, your content is so upbeat and your personality so dynamic. As an older person, I can only recommend that you find a pace of living that allows you to appreciate people around you and their support and that you keep this very curious brain of yours fed with knowledge and new challenges. Enjoy life, enjoy learning. Thanks for sharing and we are lucky to have you producing quality content again.
You've helped my coding abilities so much, I'm so grateful for you.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Although you've helped me so much with your tutorial videos, but this video is the one that I find the most helpful.
There's so many things to relate and learn from this video, like to know that I'm not alone going through such things like not doing anything productive or useful for my future despite knowing that I can very well do them, and to know that no matter how bad it is, there's always hope and you can get the control of you life back and be successful and happy. And although some of these things are said by some other people as well but coming from you, someone i really look up to, these just hit on a different level.
I could go on and on but again thank you so much for sharing this.
I wish nothing but the best for you and hope and pray that you become the happiest and the most successful than you've ever been.
Thank you very much! Glad that this video was very helpful for you :)
K-dawg is back :D
I’m speechless. I’m so proud of you for sharing your story. God is going to use this trial in your life for so much good, which started with this video!
Thanks for always being there for me sis! ❤
Keith, I was tremendously helped when I was stuck with my data science assignments, just by watching your videos. I value your good work!
this is so brave . Your videos on Data Science were my introduction to this field. Thank you for existing. Hope you get over your inner demons.
imagine how many people you can reach when a brilliant person like you chooses to share your story and struggles with mental health. shame and stigma can be debilitating for some. big props mad respect and you, thanks for sharing x
I had the same experience with depression. I'm still in the process of working my brain to be back to where it used to be. Staying with family and time definitely help. I'm glad you got out of it and I hope you will never go back to that path again.
Sorry to hear that. Glad to hear you're spending time with family. Stay strong! Enough time will heal things.
Good to have you back Keith! You are the inspiration that got me back to coding after a long time. Wishing you and your parents health and prosperity.
Keith, sorry to hear what you've been going through. I hope things are better now!
Keith, I want to express my gratitude for your data science and sentiment analysis tutorials. They've helped me to go the extra mile in my current analytics job. Thank you very much! Wishing you good health, a fulfilling journey, and a happy cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee.
ruclips.net/video/u4vg7dc6pAE/видео.html&ab_channel=iClipsTV
Keith man great to see you back! You helped me a lot with DS and Python and now you helped me look at my mental health. You deserve huge box of donuts
Thanks for the message man! and hahaha I would love some donuts xD
I'm proud of you. I hope that you can see how making your RUclips videos are somewhat therapeutic, getting things off your chest. You have given many of us so much with your videos and you should know that we are all rooting for your success.
Thank you :)
Thank you so much for sharing this man. I appreciate your effort. I found it very relatable. I graduated with a CS degree last year and went through almost similar experiences myself. Got a software engineering job. And got really caught up with completing daily tasks and to do lists. It was extremely stressful. And also the work home made everything more stressful. I was constantly looking out for any text messages on slack. It was a nightmare. I got 10 years older within just 6 months. Started building up anxiety. But kept telling myself I was feeling these because I am lazy. It was really bad for me. I decided to quit and give myself some time off. But I got another job offer right away after quitting and took it. I don't know if it was a good idea or bad idea cause just like you I also didn't give myself enough time to self reflect on my anxieties. And the reason I took the second job cause I was feeling a totally different sort of pressure which was having no job. So although I was out of work pressure I found myself into a different situation. So I guess the problem was in my head. For which even though the second job was lot more fun but slowly that too got into my head and I started to feel bad again. It was a nightmare. I quit that job too after 5 months and now decided to just take some time off and decide for myself what I really want to do for the next 10 years with some hope that I will get some clarity about my life.
So keep sharing your journey because it will help me too. Thanks for reading
Glad that this video resonated with you. Sorry to hear that you went through similar experiences :/. Sounds like you have the right mindset now. I hope all the best for your future!!
I can feel what you have been feeling. Probably in the same situation. Boston can get depressing too I know. But happy that you’re back. You are giving hope . Thanks for sharing.
Hang in there man! 🙏
Im super happy you made this video. I really dont wanna feel, not working, not coding, if i dont do them im gonna be nothing but a empty shell.
The line, "hang in there " have been giving me the tolerance to push through in my tough times and seeing you using the exact words made me really happy.
Thinking of you mate, things do get better!
@@KeithGalli im doing great keith ✌, thank you for worrying bout me.
Great to have you back, learned a lot from you.
Keith, really happy to see you back. Your data science tutorials are so good and you show what others don't. So glad you are back. Good luck!!!
Glad to see you back. I love your videos, I've learned a lot from you. And I'm struggling mentally myself too, so I know how you feel, and knowing that you're still around makes me even happier. Welcome back!
Thanks for the kind words. Sorry to hear that you're struggling too. Stay strong! I'm rooting for you.
This morning, I came across your videos and have already watched a couple. I truly appreciate and enjoy your style. Having experienced a wide range of emotions and mental states, I've come to realize the significant correlation between mental health and diet. While positive self-image and outlook are crucial, the Standard American Diet is notably problematic. Personally, reducing my carb intake has remarkably lifted the brain fog, enhanced cognitive abilities, and improved my capacity to handle life's imperfections and annoyances. It may sound unconventional, but there's a substantial community and numerous individuals with anecdotal evidence supporting this. Both my wife and I, along with other family members, can attest to the mental clarity that comes with better eating habits. At the very least, opting for a clean diet is essential. Eliminate processed foods from the center aisles of the store and focus on the outer aisles. In any case, I wish you the best, and thank you for the valuable content you create.
Thank you for the advice & kind words! I definitely have been focusing on diet more recently and it has been helping my overall well-being :)
@@KeithGalli That is great!! Be happy you figured that out early in life, at least I assume that. Took me until I got into my mid to late 30s before I figured that out. As you age, it gets worse too, insulin resistance is what it is called and the older you get, the less you are able to handle the glucose and insulin dumps. Good luck to you buddy and thanks again for the videos. I am subscribed and will keep coming back.
so happy to see you back and doing well Keith.
Good to see you back, a lot of love from Poland ♥️
Thank you for being honest,you have a kind heart.we support you, lots of love and hugs ♥️
It takes a lot of courage to share something personal as this in public.
I too remember going through something similar during the pandemic and my parents especially my mom helped me through it too. :)
Kudos man! With or without MIT… you are amazing. 🤠❤️
This video is very valuable to share Keith, thank you so much. I am struggling with anxiety for some time now because of the uncertainity in life in general - but I can see the point where everything gets better in time, I am also getting support from a therapist which helps big time.
This is a very important video for young adults like me, took my feeling of feeling alone in this situation away. Thanks a lot.
You are definitely not alone! Things get better with time :)
@@KeithGalli Thank you so much!
Thank you for being so open about your experiences and it’s great to have you back! We can all relate to the struggles of finding ourselves in the crazy modern day society. There is absolutely nothing wrong with living with parents and it’s a great blessing to have family and friends. I’ve found it really helpful to take time everyday to journal about my personal growth and all of the little joys in life. Take care!
Hello Keith, it's really great you put this video out here. Apart from helping people with data science, you are also helping people with overcoming their mental health challenges.
I'll like to say you have inspired me and your data science videos have taught me a lot. Even though we are of the same age, I am really inspired by you and what you do.
Hey you have made some awesome and easy to digest and practice videos on several tech stuff. I am a computer science engineer/software developer too, and mental health and right now during these times where mostly all IT department works at home it is vital to be centered as part of a topic to be discussed in HR system or companies policies... I will suggest (which I know nobody ask me) to keep focusing what brings joy and what helps you to follow that ladder and embrace it. I only wish you to keep going on that path on which you are, do whatever that hell makes you happy but never put yourself the pressure of "where should I be if I still be working on the startup or the intership"... what everybody and I am also talking as a relief from my inner thoughts, is to anchor yourself to the moment and start ignoring all outside noises that all they do is put pressure to your self-esteem and hits you with negative vibes. Hang in there man
Thank you!
Bro you are so lucky that you don't even know it. In 1979 My dad was just about to get transformed from the Boston university to MIT and he was studying mathematics. One day my aunt called and informed him that revolutionaries have seized his home, lands, car, bank accounts, etc. (He had to teach since he was 18 to buy them).
He left the uni and U.S overnight and flew thousands of kilometers to take his life back.
Now he is 82 and months ago he told me that he was in such a rush that when he left, he forgot to pay his phone bill (20 dollars) to a company called bell and asked me to find the company so he can pay it.
Now I (his son) am living in Germany and I had deep brain stimulation because I got ill at 26. I really want to study math in MIT but they don't allow me because I already have another bachelor's degree.
P.S: living with parents is not pathetic, i don't know why you say so.
Thanks Keith for sharing all this! Glad you are feeling better now! Your videos have definitely helped me a lot for getting on Python and DS, look forward to more great content from you!
Keith is very inspiring and helpful for people going through depression or losing their way. I'll pass this video to my grandson, he is 20 and suffering from depression and being lost. In my time we just went to the army for 2 years and hoped for the best! Somehow, it did work but you have to go through mental suffering and physical endurance. I would certainly not advise anyone to go to the army!
Hey Keith, thanks for putting this out. The worst thing about losing mental health is that you are never sure what is it that’s causing your problems. The 1st step towards solving a problem is to realise that it exists and not just shun it off. Unfortunately mental health is still a taboo in my country so its really hard for someone to understand why they are unhappy. Mental health is as real as it gets.
It was great to see the notification on my phone from Keith!! Sorry to hear about the depression, and I've seen myself in the video, always laughing but in depression. However, like in the last section, it's great to see you excited about being back with great ideas!! Wishing health to everyone reading this.
Boş yapma
love to see you back. You dont know how much i love to watch ur video, the way u think, the way u teach and ur voice
Wishing u and ur family health and happiness
Love from VietNam
You're awesome man. We're here for you.
Great you are better! Hopefully you start making new videos about data science. Your videos have been a great added help.
its great to have you back Keith. every fans miss you so much. you're the best tutorial lecturer i've ever seen on this platform. i suffered from depression too. I understand what you been through and that's a horrifying experience even to remember. it's wonderful to see smile appear on your face again.
Thank you Keith for speaking so openly. Hope you are much better now. You have helped me so much with Python and absolutely love to listen to you.
Thank you for the kind words! I've been doing very well overall since creating this video :)
Keith, first of all, I just want to say that your videos on data science got me a great gig as an analyst at Sony Music! I’m truthfully very thankful. I also had a very tough and dark time a couple years ago, I was dealing with GAD and was miserable for quite some time, it got better for me eventually, and I’m really glad to hear the same from you. Mental health is no joke and I just wanted you to know you’re not alone.
I just saw this from two years ago. Thanks for sharing your story. I appreciate it. Your candor does everybody a big favor.
And, of course I saw it because i like your tutorials so much, and I wandered back through your catalog. Keep teaching!
Sharing this means a lot mate! I’m glad you find joy in teaching because you look natural doing so. I only follow you for a month or so bug your videos and especially your style of teaching really help with Python. If you continue uploading I’ll be there watching.
I recently watched an episode of Impaulsive where one co-host said that the sharpest weapon a human has is it’s mind and if that mind is fighting against you, you battle your sharpest weapon and your hardest fight. I hope you can continue mastering your weapon because you can help us and put a lot of smiles in peoples faces!

print(‘Love from Germany!’)

This happened to me as well when I was an undergrad at UCSD in 2011. I was failing at a bunch of quarters & had to be recommended emergency psychiatric counseling. Sad part was it still took me 6-7 years to develop healthy routines and strategies for dealing with stress & depression.
Sorry to hear that you went through something similar :/. Everyone is on their own timeline, I'm happy that you were able to develop healthy routines after a few years. I'm sure that you've gained a lot of wisdom and compassion in the process.
You single-handedly got me excited to start my data analytics journey with your "Solving real world data science tasks with Python Pandas!" video and here I am two years later in a data science role.
To thank you isn't enough mate. I know I'm just one of thousands, and not many people can vouch for having that great of a positive impact on this world. You're an absolute G and we're happy to see you back mate.
Warm hug！You are a kind person and your high quality videos have helped me a lot. Everything will get better soon!♥
Thank you! :)
Thanks for sharing dude. So glad you pulled through.
You’re an inspiration and have such a knack for explaining things clearly. The video on webscraping with Beautiful Soup opened up a whole new world for me. I can’t thank you enough! Thank you for bringing awareness and being you.
Glad that video was very helpful for you! Thank you for the kind words :)
My hat off for you, Keith. You did not only inspired me to learn coding although I never touched computer keyboard in high school, but also echoing how discrepancies between expectations and realities drive us to the edge in our isolated corners of the world. You're a hero, buddy!
Thank you for the kind words!
You are an inspiration with highs and lows, it is okay not to feel well all the time. You are an amazingly gifted and talented person... Please do not ever second guess who you are or how you function.. Pressure can shut all of us down.. remember what it is you have to offer and hopefully the world can understand and wait for you!!!!!!!!!! Please do not stop the videos you have so much to offer and you tell it so everyone can understand!
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏
Happy you're back! Men's mental health is underrated! Take care of yourself.
your channel is one of my favorite youtube channels. I'm glad you are feeling better now. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Appreciate the support, man!
Glad to hear that you feel better and welcome back! Have learned so much about data science from your videos. Keep up the good work and most importantly, stay healthy!
thank you so much for sharing your story, I'm sure it wasn't easy, but I believe it will help a lot of people. mental health is so incredibly important and I'm glad you were able to find the help you needed. look forward to see what you do next, I'm rooting for you!!
Keith, you are the man who taught me Python from a true beginner. Your videos are full of fun which is better than many Python tutorials. It matters a lot to us!
Thanks for sharing. You and Zach posting about the struggles have helped big time.
Hi Keith, it is great that you are back! You are doing an enormous job for a lot of people. Stay safe and healthy!
Keith, I can relate to your story. Thanks to God you are back to happiness. Your story is very encouraging!
the pressure to excel in life could be overwhelming: you feel like you have to go forward no matter what, especially when you are responsible for others. it is very brave of you to share your story. i feel like in today's society it's not allowed for men to express emotions and take care of mental health, and this is unfortunate. it got to change. good to see that you're doing better
Hey man I just started an online Data Science course and went on YT to find some more info and stumbled upon your channel. It took me 5 mins of watching one of your vids to like and subscribe to your channel (something i usually never do unless content is optimal). I hope you keep building on tutoring and making new videos. Helping us (the YT community) might as well help you day after day. So thanks for your time, and I hope I can keep learning from you :D
So happy you are back! Thanks for telling us your story and being transparent. I am actually glad you "let the team down" versus not being on this earth. You have too many amazing things to accomplish before you leave. Just remember tomorrow is another day and it will always be better. Looking forward to more great videos!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for sharing your story, I think it will help a lot of people. Glad to hear that you are doing better. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Take care of yourself.
Keith, you helped me through my graduate school and I want to say I identify with a lot of what you’ve said here, you’re not the only one! I’ve been held back significantly by major mood issues that have affected my work and my life profoundly. Like you alluded to, they often start so small and creep up so slowly that I don’t notice myself going from highly productive to spending hours laying on my floor trying to talk myself into doing just one productive thing, at least basic hygiene, or a little bit of cleaning, even playing a video game or something would be nice at that point. When I notice that I feel like the worst person in the entire world, like “how can I hold my life together if I can’t even motivate myself to play a video game?”
I know during those times I feel so alone and isolated. Logically I can hear people saying “just make yourself do things” and somehow still just lay on the floor. So far I’ve always eventually found a way out of those dark times and have been able to generally mitigate the negative impact on my life, and in fact the most recent time I remember feeling like that was a month or two ago. Now I’m really working hard with a therapist on how to lessen the impact of those long-lasting low moods and hopefully prevent them altogether.
I’m never happy to hear about another person suffering and I really hope you (and I, and everyone else) can stay well and happy, but I will say that hearing about other people with similar career paths dealing with similar issues lessens the isolation that comes along with it. Thank you for being so public about this, and let me add my voice to the message to anyone currently struggling, you are not alone.
Stay well Keith, keeping making a difference however you see fit!
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your own story! Sending love your way
Thanks for sharing Keith. Your videos were a big help along the way in my journey. Glad to see you doing better and hope the best is yet to come.
Thanks for making this video. It is good to hear others talk about their obstacles. Hope all is well and thanks for the data analytics insight.
Man this is just great! It’s great having you back. Hope to learn more from you. De Colombia para el mundo
this is why i always say , do whatever works for you , period . as long as you aren't breaking the law or hurting somebody you are all good . if you are already making good money with something , don't change it continue doing it . also , take care of your health and have some rest , some people think we are made of metal like machines and we don't feel anything but that's not true .
As an educator who also struggles with the realities of mental health struggles, burnout, etc. Please know that I have found your tutorials enormously helpful and clear. You are a gifted and unique person, thank you for your honesty. Would you accept a virtual hug from a stranger?
Thank you for the kind words 🙏. I happily accept your virtual hug 😊
Hi Bro, just want to mention it is glad to see u again and what you did in RUclips really helps me a lot. Learning python with u is a part of my life in the past years. Hope u enjoy your life and keep bringing us fantastic things.
im so happy that you got better Keith! u inspire me dude! u sharing ur experience will help so much people going through similar experiences!
Thank you for the kind words!! :)
Your videos have been super helpful for me as I balance parenting 3 kids, working, and starting a Data Science Masters, while being married to a surgeon who is really struggling with depression during Covid burnout. I wish you the very best in your future, and I want to take this moment to say thank you for your educational efforts. Your teaching videos have decreased my stress incredibly and helped me use my time well so I can take better care of myself as I balance all my responsibilities. With your teaching videos I feel like I can make better progress towards my homework in the time that I have, instead of banging my head against long-ass pandas error messages. You have value no matter what you produce, but I appreciate your effort to teach. And I appreciate your willingness to make this video. I didn't know that Movember was a charity! I thought it was just a moustache-growing competition. Best wishes for your health and building life of meaning on your own terms.
Thank you for sharing your own experiences and the support! I wish you the best as well :)
I am protective and considerate over my parents no matter how dysfunctional, I sacrificed much of my earnings, my future plans, to make sure we all had a means to survive. I'm the youngest child, and yet, my responsibility was to sacrifice for my family. It gets crazy when you're starting over, still living with them, but I know that I'm trying to build something more from myself, make ground rules to better secure any earnings, and gain better wisdom.
I've battled suicidal thoughts when gaging my worth as a human being when unemployed, but beat them so that I could focus and stop feeling sorry for myself it's incredibly difficult if you guys share these sensations.
Stay strong and FACE THE MOUNTAIN, guys
Man your Data Science videos are at next level. Definitely the best content out there. Anyways great to have you back. Just know that you've helped a lot of guys including me through your teaching.
glad to see u again！ I was imperssed by your pandas vedio, that really helped me a lot during my study in UK! Now I am back in china and got to see this vedio, life is full of trouble, but believe in yourself, what doesnt kill u makes u stronger!
Brave and strong. Thanks for your honesty and willingness to share. That takes a lot of courage and it will help others. Cheers!
Hey man! Just want to let you know that I've learned a great deal from your videos, and thanks to that I love data science more. Much appreciated. Glad to see you are doing better :D
Great to see you back and in better health.
I have learned a lot from you and always be grateful for that...keep doing what you love to do and be strong. May the force be with you always :).
I just discovered your channel yesterday.
I am going through exactly this right now and I connected a lot of dots that I couldn't make sense of before.... Thank you for sharing this
Glad to hear that this helped you connect some dots. Stay strong, things do get better even if it doesn't seem like they will!
Welcome backkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Great to see you back, and also great that after all, you are doing better!
I have learned a lot from you! Delighted that you are back!
