Why do a lot of people in the health care profession such as doctors and nurses suffer with?


dependency problems and depression? Drugs? Alcohol? Eating disorders?

I am in know way judging, I have a lot of respect for them. I am in nursing school myself.

Everyday a persons survival is placed in their hands. Simply, when they screw up, it can cost someone their life. This is alot of stress to deal with. A higher prevelance of alcohol abuse and depression is a consequence of it.

I don't know about dependency ..but definitely depression. The job is extremely stressful and can be filled with a lot of unfortunate cases. It's a job where we're trying to make people better, but often they are unwilling to help themselves. We also meet a lot of good people who are suffering and there is not much we can do.

first ,they are people like everyone else
but remember they work a job where everyone has a problem and they hear complaints everyday , insurance companies deny services and procedures that need to get done , the paper work to get something approved is alot and they can spend lots of time on the phone with the insurance companies to get the services the patient needs . Now they have the paper work that needs to be done for their job .
