I saw this and had to share. I just love this.

I have been doing some interesting reading lately.
I fully agree with the basis of this book that compassion shown by health care professionals directly impacts on patient treatment and outcome.
However, I strongly feel that our health care professionals do not have the coping skills needed to internalize patients emotions which is needed to respond with compassion. In order to be truly compassionate towards a patient, a health care professional needs to be able to process the patients emotions and their own. When already burnt out and emotionally raw, this becomes very difficult.
Let me know your thoughts?

I often tell my patients that walking for 20 minutes a day is one of the best ways to manage depression, anxiety and daily stress. Not only does it keep our bodies healthy, but it also keeps our minds healthy as well.
By walking daily, your mood will be uplifted, you will think clearer, and sleep better.
What are you waiting for? Get those walking shoes on today!

With most mental illnesses, a predominant feeling is that of hopelessness and helplessness. That empty feeling that says you will never feel OK again.

Bipolar mood disorder (BMD) is often a devastating diagnosis to have, however if managed correctly, you can continue to live life to the fullest.
BMD is characterised by the 2 poles, namely mania and depression.
Mania is the EXCESS of everything, heightened moods, decreased inhibitions, lack of sleep, increased substance use and bizarre behaviour.
Depression is the LACK of everything, feelings of emptiness, lethargy, physical weakness and apathy.
When uncontrolled, BMD can be crippling to any persons life. Your work is affected, your relationships are affected and your ability to care for yourself and your family is affected. Get support today, and start living your life to the fullest. You deserve it!

Stress and burnout is often a combination of several factors which when placed all together, causes us to collapse. Occupational therapy looks at each contributing factor and works on building coping skills to mange these factors in the long term. OT does not believe in just putting a plaster on the problem. Lets build lasting solutions to prevent burnout in the future.
