The American Psychiatric Association's 2026 conference sheds light on a critical issue affecting the medical and psychiatric community: doctor's have mental health conditions too! In this video, psychiatrists open up about their personal struggles with bipolar, PTSD, LGBT stigma, and burnout, sharing their experiences and insights gained from their residency and medical training. The discussion delves into the challenges of med school stress, residency life, and the impact of burnout symptoms on mental health doctors. By speaking candidly about their own diagnosis and burnout recovery, these psychiatrists aim to raise awareness about the importance of physician mental health and the need for support systems within the medical field. The conversation highlights the unique demands of psychiatry residency and the ways in which medical professionals can prioritize their well-being amidst the pressures of their work. By exploring the intersection of medicine, mental health, and personal resilience, this video offers a nuanced look at the complexities of burnout in the medical community and the paths toward recovery and healing.Become Member for $1/month to get EARLY access to videos & exclusive videos:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Ypzlapvju3XZ-8rgjF8Vw/joinVisit website at https://medpsycmoss.com for transcripts, blog posts, and resources for medical students, health care professionals, and patientsLet’s Connect: @stephmossmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephmossmd/Twitter/X: ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/medpsymoss⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmossmd?_t=8kS9kVfKjUc&_r=1Listen to Podcast “Life as a Patient-Doctor:Youtube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUfheMZYKjA8xJN3_tzjvvCWGn8HKh_Rt&si=erIIirgQyAsEkBR4 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/685WDhQHXulbCmh2siIOp3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-as-a-patient-doctor/id1719637283***This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

On Life as a Patient Doctor, Dr. Stephanie Moss interviews “MS,” a Quebec medical student and first in her family to pursue medicine, who describes navigating medical school while living with lupus cerebritis and later being diagnosed with bipolar I disorder. MS recounts repeated depressive episodes, course cancellations, accommodations, a neurologist-guided medication change that improved memory, and a psychotic manic hospitalization over Christmas break, followed by challenges from antipsychotic side effects. She shares the emotional toll of watching classmates graduate while she remained in pre-clerkship, including a six-week hospitalization, and how studying in advance helped her complete remaining classes and prepare to start clerkship in the fall. The conversation emphasizes reducing the gap between patients and providers, focusing on patients’ context and daily hospital life, and finding community through the Canadian Association of Physicians with Disabilities.00:00 Mania Hospitalization01:19 Podcast Introduction01:55 Path Into Medicine02:49 Lupus And Early Depression04:13 Medical School Setbacks06:52 Memory Help And Recovery08:37 Manic Episode Diagnosis10:40 Depression And Time Off16:06 Motivation To Continue17:57 Patient Perspective In Care20:42 Breaking Stereotypes21:54 Advice And Community24:05 Closing Summary And Resources

In this video, I share a personal experience of making a HIPAA mistake in medicine and the valuable lessons I learned from it. As a doctor who is active online, I understand the importance of maintaining medical ethics and upholding the standards of the medical profession, especially when it comes to digital doctor-patient interactions. I discuss how medical content creators, including med students and future doctors, can navigate the complexities of medical ethics and avoid common pitfalls, such as spreading misinformation and disinformation. Whether you're a physician online, part of a hospital's honor council, or simply a medical enthusiast, this video aims to provide a comprehensive guide on how to balance online presence with the responsibilities of being a medical professional, all while adhering to HIPAA guidelines and promoting a positive online presence for Futuremd professionals. By sharing my own experiences and insights, I hope to contribute to the ongoing conversation about ethics in medicine and provide a valuable resource for medical professionals looking to establish themselves online as a digital doctor or doctor guide.00:00 Social Media in Medicine00:05 The X-Ray Mistake00:50 Talk Overview01:44 Disclosures And Sponsorships02:41 Objectives And Stakes03:59 The Case Story06:11 Honor Council Fallout07:52 Strategy One HIPAA Basics10:29 Strategy Two Consent Forms13:25 Strategy Three Education First16:39 Where To Share Content20:01 Why Social Media Matters22:03 Misinformation And Ethics23:57 Institutional Guidelines27:53 Personal Accounts And VA Rules29:35 Dr G Social Media Guide32:45 Handling Trolls34:46 Build Better Guidelines36:23 Q And A Closing Thoughts37:47 Collaboration Across Professions39:38 Final Thanks
