Doctors and our own mental health
Doctors are MORE likely than non doctors to have a mental health problem but can find it difficult to seek help, often leading to long delays in diagnosis and treatment.
Doctors and medical students with mental health problems often feel isolated and as if they are the only one with a problem.
The good news is that doctors and medical students with mental health problems make excellent recoveries with appropriate support and treatment.
About Us
DSN believes that contact with and support from other medics can help recovery. All DSN members have either themselves been troubled at some stage in their lives or support the aims of the organisation.
DSN is currently the only independent body representing doctors with non substance use related, mental health conditions in the UK.
DSN actively campaigns to improve mental health care for doctors and is involved in physician health consultations (representing an informed user view) with professional organisations such as the General Medical Council.
