There is a culture of shame and silence when it comes to the mental health struggles of healthcare professionals. We feel that asking for help is a sign of weakness. We tend to keep our problems bottled up inside until things get really bad. In today’s episode Dr. Natasha Holmes, a local pediatric doctor, shares her personal experience of burnout and depression in the medical field. You will learn:
How to recognize early symptoms and signs of mental health deterioration
Practical strategies for managing mental health
Ideas for seeking support and communicating about the status of your mental health.
This episode talks about important and necessary topics that aren’t addressed frequently enough in the medical field.
I hope it makes you feel like you are NOT ALONE and you do not have to suffer in silence.
