  • Health care workers still face stigma around mental health struggles.

The video from PBS, titled "Mental Health Among Health Care Workers," discusses the significant mental health challenges faced by healthcare professionals, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. It features insights from Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatrist who specializes in physician mental health, who explains that healthcare workers often face high levels of stress, burnout, and mental health issues due to the demanding nature of their jobs. The video emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues through better support systems, including access to mental health resources and fostering a culture that encourages seeking help without stigma. It also touches on the impact of the pandemic, which has exacerbated these problems, leading to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD among healthcare workers. The overall message is a call to action for healthcare institutions to prioritize the mental well-being of their staff to ensure they can continue to provide high-quality care to patients.
