Yes, a PhD degree can turn out to be an extremely stressful academic journey where you may feel overwhelmed with high expectations, demanding coursework, long hours of study, and the feeling of isolation. It is a complete roller coaster ride that requires passion and determination, as the research thesis keeps you engrossed most of the time, leading to reduced social interaction and conversations, frequent irritability, and failures at different points throughout the long academic journey. All of this could potentially increase anxiety levels.

To make sure your Ph.D. research is authentic, you should, first of all, choose a clear research topic along with an identified research gap on which you would like to work. Then you should start with literature reviews where you read a plethora of books, articles, and journals related to the chosen research topic, select your target audience, and collect data through online surveys and group discussions. Regularly assess your work and take feedback from your peers and supervisor to make sure you successfully complete your PhD thesis while ensuring sheer originality.

Yes, pursuing a PhD degree can often turn out to be a journey of solitude owing to a culture of long, silent, and independent research, which often makes mutual conversations difficult. You often find yourself sitting in libraries for hours and sipping coffee while reading various books, articles, and journals to come up with a strong thesis work. There is less social interaction, and time management may seem difficult, but with your persistent efforts and passion for the field, you can overcome this feeling of loneliness and reach your final goal of PhD completion.

Well, yes. When we talk about passion and grades, passion definitely wins the race because pursuing a PhD requires a long-term commitment that needs constant effort and dedication, which can only be driven by passion. While good academic grades are important for PhD admission, passion is what really leads to the culmination of the intense PhD research work and intellectual growth.
