More than half of health workers report symptoms of burnout, and many are struggling with insomnia, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other mental health challenges, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. Caring for patients has always been emotionally and physically demanding, but particularly so during the past three years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
