Medical Economics (8/2, Bendix) reports “the COVID-19 pandemic has abated, but its influence on the mental health of” physicians “and their patients lingers, and in some ways has gotten worse, according to results of a new survey” from AdvancedMD, which “queried 200 of its customers – independent practice owners and physicians – about their own mental health and that of their patients.” In the survey, “84% said patient stress levels and mental health disorders have increased over the past three years, 64% said their work-related stress levels are higher now than in 2020, and 44% said they rely on exercise to manage stress.”
