It is an illness where a person is sad with lack of energy, mood is down, disturbed sleep. When a doctor is depressed lot of questions comes in his mind, whether to consult a psychiatrist, or his colleagues, or if anyone comes to know about his illness, fear of social stigma, etc. Because of all these thoughts, doctors are more prone to depression and suicidal thoughts.
