Do you believe medicos should seek therapy or counseling when needed? Have you tried it? Medical professionals should not hesitate to pursue therapy or counseling whenever required. While they are trained to care for others, they are also susceptible to mental and emotional strain. Accessing professional support can not only promote their well-being but also positively influence the quality of care they provide. Embracing therapy can help normalize mental health care in the medical community and foster a culture of openness and empathy. ---

Of Cors .. healthcare professionals are also normal human beings .. just because we aware of the issues doesn’t make us resistant to it .. we are more prone to it I would say.. ---

Yes, medical professionals should absolutely seek therapy or counseling when needed. Just like anyone else, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers face significant stress, high-pressure situations, and potential for burnout. Seeking professional support can be a sign of strength, not weakness, and can improve their mental health and ability to provide optimal care. ---

True, seeking help or counselling should be done by medicos given the stress which comes along the way. It helps to work efficiently and also have good productivity ---

💯 they are human too… I would definitely take it as a positive trait if my physician is in therapy… to recognise it and then ask for help getting better is not an easy task… ---
