In “Health & Science,” the Washington Post (1/7, Morris) reported, “A survey of 2,000 US physicians” published in the November-December issue of General Hospital Psychiatry “found that roughly half believed they had met criteria for a mental health disorder in the past but had not sought treatment.” The physicians, who “listed a number of reasons they had shunned care, including worries that they’d be stigmatized and an inability to find the time,” also “voiced a troubling reason for avoiding treatment: medical licensing applications.”
