Physicians face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide risk than the general population — yet fewer than one in three with a mental health condition ever receives care.
In this episode, Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, professor of anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Global Chief Medical Officer for AIDOC, discusses what happens when physicians consider getting help. The conversation looks at how concerns about licensing, confidentiality, and other structural barriers can make seeking care feel risky, and why progress has been uneven.
