CBT for Health Professionals
Doctors are more likely than any other professionals to experience mental health problems (BMJ 2008;337:a2527).

There are pressures to remain resilient amongst vigorous training, antisocial working hours and still trying to manage a work life balance. There is often not enough time for doctors to reflect on their own well being and health needs. Talking about work pressures and accessing help is a vital step towards enabling healthcare professionals to look after their own mental health and to ultimately allow them to stay well within such a rewarding and demanding profession.
Common problems for healthcare professionals, where anxiety and/or depression become unmanageable, include the following:
- Stress and burnout
- Depression
- OCD
- Clinical perfectionism
- Difficulty with assertiveness
- Low self esteem
- Alcohol or substance misuse
- Relationship problems
Evidence shows that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective therapy for a range of depression and anxiety disorders and is supported by a strong evidence base (Hofmann et al., 2012).
