Psychiatrists are human, and they can develop mental illnesses through their dealings with psychiatric patients.
Mental illness can be contagious, especially through long-term treatment. Depression is one such illness. It is a negative energy exported by the patient to the doctor during repeated treatment sessions. The effect varies from one doctor to another. It depends on the doctor’s maturity and psychological balance. These increase with experience.
New graduates are more susceptible to infection because they live with patients and their issues, therefore are more vulnerable to the disease.
Experienced psychiatrists train young doctors on how to deal with patients, to make them free from infection.
Unfortunately, psychiatrists often don’t tell others about their mental illness because they think it makes them less of a doctor. This makes it harder for them to get help. While they’re getting treatment, they often just take medication instead of going to therapy. This makes them more likely to die by suicide than any other doctors.
Doctors are the most difficult patients to treat. Despite knowing the importance of treatment and the need for follow-up, they do not apply this to themselves.
