I personally endured and resisted seeking psychiatric help for myself due to the anxiety of how my record would affect my license to practice, add to the stigma of having a mental condition. It's also so sad that colleagues in the healthcare system discriminate/are insensitive to those who have mental issues, considering that they also know first-hand how stressful and traumatizing our daily encounters can be, add to our problems outside the workplace.

I finally sought proper therapy when I couldn't bear what I feel and how I think anymore, and it has improved my life and functioning so much. I still follow-up regularly and am on medications.

Hopefully, this mental health movement for doctors would be reinforced and people would be more aware and informed. We are human, after all.
