Deep dives
Understanding Clinician Burnout
Burnout among clinicians is characterized by emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion, as well as feelings of depersonalization towards patients. It often results from excessive administrative burdens, high patient loads, and a workplace culture that glorifies martyrdom among healthcare providers. This problematic culture discourages clinicians from seeking help for fear of being viewed as weak or inadequate, exacerbating their mental health issues. The reluctance to confront these issues leads many to suffer in silence until their condition becomes severe.
