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.
