This book provides a reference and contextual basis for depression,
burnout and suicide among oncology and other medical professionals.
Oncology as a medical subspecialty is at a unique apex of this
crisis. While the same pressures in medicine certainly apply to
oncologists, oncology is particularly stressful as a changing field
with diverse patient and societal expectations for outcomes. In
addition to experiencing the stress of caring for patients that
could succumb to their cancer diagnoses, these professionals are
regularly confronted with an onslaught of new medical information
and a landscape that is changing at a breakneck pace. These are
just a few factors involved in the increasing rates of burnout
among oncologists as well as other medcial professionals. By
addressing a gap in identifying mental health problems among health
care professionals, this book sheds light on mental health problems
and suicide among physicians. Importantly, this book is a call to
action of the professional and administrative organizations to work
on improving mental health of physicians. Anxiety and depression
affect not only the individual doctor but also patient care. Given
the increasing attention to these issues along with limited yet
applicable data regarding how to address these issues, the text
aims to bring the latest data face to face with consensus opinion
and can be used to ultimately enhance oncologic and psychiatric
practices. Written by experts in the field, Depression, Burnout and
Suicide in Physicians: Insights from Oncology and Other Medical
Professions aims to significantly increase awareness and contribute
to understanding the necessity of preventive measures on
individual, family, and care givers levels.
