Manage episode 471005604 series 3560309
Dr. Jessi Gold—psychiatrist, educator, media presence, and author—describes healthcare workers and others who delay or altogether avoid obtaining help for their own mental health needs, which increases their risks for burnout and worse. She encourages individuals in need to get help promptly, encourages healthcare institutions to set realistic expectations for employees, and has chronicled her own journey of growth in the October 2024 book How Do You Feel? One Doctor’s Search for Humanity in Medicine. Geoff said reading it was “a human experience worth having."
