Hola! When I was in the second year of my MBBS, Psychiatry postings were something that amazed everyone. I used to think & wonder how do these Psychiatrists work in an environment full of varying emotions? Listening griefs & imbibing all the negative thoughts of people must be a challenging job. Doesn't this affect their own mental health? The pandemic has multiplied the cases of anxiety, depression and other mental health illnesses. How these Psychiatrists are coping with it, we will know from Dr Rashi Agarwal in this episode of the Khoj.

I got the opportunity to have a discussion with Dr Rashi during the second peak of Covid. This episode is in continuation of our mental health series.

There is a great quote by Suzy Kassem, she says, " Doubt Kills More Dreams Than Failure Ever Will". It does seem to be accurate in our field too, where we go through hell lot of exams before we start earning. Many of us do feel the anxieties related to the exams. And these exams determine many things including our future. The anxieties related to exams do have a significant impact on our mental health creating chaos in day to day life. Many of us do feel the enormous pressure before Exams specially before the viva. Some of us couldn't bear the pressure & end up in severe negative consequences like medical suicide. When we clear these competitive exams, we do get into the medical residency, but the story doesn't end here. It's not the happy ending, actually it's the real beginning of our life in Medicine. Heavy workload does help a lot in creating the work performance anxiety. Stress in the residency does seem to be a tradition, passing from generation to generation. These alarming situation demand for a major change in the work culture during medical residency. 

This podcast is purely dedicated to all the students like me who are preparing for any competitive exam, also to those who are in their Medical Residency. Both are in different battlefields fighting for their existence. 

Do listen to our special guest Dr Divya Devulapally (Consultant Psychiatrist) who shares her tips on reducing the exam stress & work performance anxiety in this episode. I hope I'll be able to add a perspective through this & this podcast would be helpful to those in need. 

Thank You

All The Best!

Medical Residents & Interns are the backbone of healthcare in India. The amount of burden they bear is unmatchable from the rest of the world. There are days when they don't get proper sleep. These sleepless nights do make them learn important concepts of medical science but it also take a toll on their mental health. Since the pandemic started, the amount of burden has increased tremendously. Specially the Medicine And Anaesthesia residents are in the front in fighting this deadly virus . Even the cases in Psychiatry have gone multifold. Medical suicides are increasing day by day, asking us to introspect. In these alarming situations, I had a chance to interview one of the emerging Psychiatrist of Jaipur, Dr Rahul Kansal. We discussed about the declining mental health of residents & interns. He explained very well about the current scenerio and enumerated various ways to deal with the burden. We also discussed changes required in current situation. Listen to the episode and do let us know what you think of it.

Share it with your friends and loved ones.

I hope we will bring the change because only WE CAN.
