432 SelfWork: Doctors and Depression: A Conversation with Dr. Pam Buchanan

Today the focus is on doctors and depression, with Dr. Pamela Buchanan as my guest, in a second episode in the "Careers That Kill" series, discussing medical providers, the pandemic, and depression.����

She's a board-certified physician, speaker and thought leader dedicated to transforming healthcare and championing mental well-being. She���s a TEDx speaker known for her powerful talk on ���Emotional Flatline,��� which explores the emotional toll of the high-stress ER during the pandemic, and the struggle doctors have with depression.��As the author of The Oxygen Mask Principle, Dr. Buchanan teaches self-care as a revolutionary act for working mothers, healthcare professionals, and high achievers.

She's also currently an ambassador with the Lorna Breen foundation that has a focus prevent physician suicide. Recently, she's taken a strong stance that she, as a Black physician, has to prove herself over and over - which is not only unjust, but adds intense pressure to her every day. Still, she's passionate about coaching physicians through burnout so that they can stay in practice.��
