Fictional, but thorough and realistic, case studies are at the heart of Physician Well-Being. One per chapter, they allow readers to get inside the minds of physicians and understand their lives and stressors, from long hours and staff shortages to onerous administrative demands. The book proposes solutions designed to make today's typical health care environments more effective.

The book examines how the related disorders of burnout, anxiety, depression, and addiction, can lead to suicide and explores the influence of gender, culture, aging, and personal resilience on outcomes. In addition, it investigates ways to mitigate the impact of these factors to improve physician health and well-being.

A practical guide for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals seeking to exploit the enormous potential of today's innovative digital technologies to improve the quality, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness of care for patients with psychiatric disorders.
