Quick Takes: A podcast by physicians, for physicians

Dr. Joss Reimer, CMA President, on living with depression


Listen Later

“We all need help sometimes.”

As doctors, we often shy away from discussing our health, especially our mental health — even with our own physicians. That’s unfortunate as doctors have a higher suicide rate than the general population, yet fears of vulnerability, judgment, and stigma keep many of us silent. In this episode of Quick Takes, Dr. Gratzer sat down with Dr. Joss Reimer, president of the Canadian Medical Association, who openly shares her own experiences with depression, as a doctor and as a patient.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • About the importance of reaching out and getting help for mental health—whether it's a diagnosed illness or normal stress.
  • What it’s like to have your mental health be front-page news.
  • How Dr. Reimer would like to change the health care system.
  • And what may be the best ice cream shop in the Canada.
