Physicians afraid to get mental health help

  • 1.  Physicians afraid to get mental health help

    I recently wrote an article about physicians hit hard emotionally during the pandemic and some of the reasons they're afraid to get treatment. It was heartbreaking to hear providers' stories. I'm wondering if people have heard about medical students who've also been reluctant to get help for fear of affecting their chances of landing a residency. Meanwhile,  here's hoping for less-stressful times ahead!
