Tweetiatricians: @AAP election starts tomorrow! I am thrilled to support @drsandychung for Pres. She's done amazing things at the VA chapter level (for example VMAP is our MH access line and her brain child) and can do the same for national AAP.youtu.be/S0mc2qrdPJw

@MedscapeCME A7: Technology can be a tool or a weapon=) Use technology for good, not evil! To increase human interaction, not be a barrier #medscapementalhealth

Q7: What role can and should technology play in moving the needle on mental health for our patients and ourselves alike? #MedscapeMentalHealth #MentalHealthMonth

@HansaBhargavaMD @MedscapeCME Love this! Sometimes adults need a timeout too-I have started paying better attention to signals when I need to just disconnect and recharge. What are your signals?

@MedscapeCME I've learned, the hard way, that self replenishment is key, to be focused and productive- so i work it into my schedule. What about you? #medscapementalhealth #medtwitter

Q2: Not to burden physicians with “one more thing,” but what should they be prioritizing/doing in the way of self care to ease the burnout? What's realistic and attainable here? #MedscapeMentalHealth #PhysicianBurnout

Q5: Work-life balance and combining parenting with work were the most pressing issues of concern in the @Medscape #PhysicianBurnout survey. How have you as a #DocMom or #DocDad been impacted? ms.spr.ly/6011VxydN #MedscapeMentalHealth

@MedscapeCME A6: Definitely seen a major increase in requests for psychiatric services which is stressful! How can we help others when we are feeling stressed ourselves? #medscapementalhealth

Q6: Since the #pandemic began, have you noticed a change in the number of patients reporting anxiety, depression, or burnout themselves? #MedscapeMentalHealth #MentalHealthMonth

@MedscapeCME A3: Increase self care=increase compassion and window of tolerance #medscapementalhealth

Q3: Almost half of physicians say their depression has no impact on patients, but about 36% say they become easily exasperated by patients. How do you help docs overcome this? ms.spr.ly/6016VxyME #MedscapeMentalHealth #PhysicianBurnout

@MedscapeCME A2: Less administrative burden, more time with patients! How do we make physicians' lives more efficient and effective? #medscapementalhealth

@MedscapeCME Q1: In the #PhysicianBurnout survey, 47% of physicians say their workplace doesn’t offer programs to reduce stress/burnout. What can we, as physicians, do to better support one another / help our peers? #MedscapeMentalHealth A1: Physical State, Mental State, Connect, Meaning

@MedscapeCME It has definitely crossed my mind but then I realized that stress exists in every job (after trying on different hats), so finding balance wherever you are is key.

Have you considered leaving healthcare due to exhaustion or frustration?
