Hi! Today I
will write about an article that I read in the website http://www.theguardian.com/ . This
article is written by Ranjana Srivastava and it refers to the depression in
doctors.
Ranjana
Srivastava is a doctor and she tells a bit about of her experience as doctor
and of the experience of her friends and how this job affects their lifes
The work
schedule of the doctors is complicated, they haven´t a fixed schedule; besides
they is constantly in contact with painful events and difficult situations with
their patients. The solution for continue with their normal life is forget this
success, but not always is possible.
For this, an Australian study shows that the
doctors suffer of depression more frequently that the rest of population, the
results of the investigation shows that 1 of each 10 doctor have suicidal
thought in the last year and beside this study tell that the doctors are more
prone to suffer mental illness.
But there
is other thing, the doctors is conscious this situation, they see how their
colleagues suffer or experiment changes in their lifes in result of to be unable
for bear the pain that they see all days, and for this they prefer don´t work
with who suffer some mental illness, because they everyone think that for
suffer depression or other illness they are less able as doctors, and this is a
stigma that must to be eliminated.
That´s interesting and terrible! regards...
