In this video I’m sharing me PERSONAL VERY REAL experiences with mental health and my journey through medical school and the decisions I’ve made through out and how my mental health has been affected. I will not tolerate negative comments based on YOUR perception of what is or isn’t “click bait”. You comment will be removed so don’t bother. Thank you :)

The better help therapists DO NOT have a licence. this is WRONG

I know a girl who I met on campus last year and she told me that she is repeating her 3rd year for the 3rd time because of mental health issues in medicine . That was when I realised that guys, please take a break if you feel weighed down.

Depression is veryyyyyy common in medical school. Medical students have higher depression and suicide rates than the general population. It's very tough. It's not just a game of intelligence, it's a game of mental fortitude.

I got burnt out in medical school, I could not study a page of the textbook and finish it. I would not study even the day before the exam and would panic only when the sunsets, I failed my practical and failed the year anyway. After that year, I progressed to the following year, ended up feeling like I'm back again and ended up in top 10% of the class, I graduated and now I'm working and got burnt out again, this time I am leaving medicine though. I'm studying computer science since I like Math, I must say it is great to study something I have a passion for

Woov you are really a fighter. It takes courage to left all efforts behind and start another journey. People will say you are late for studying another university or change occupation but I dont believe it. Congrats for your bravery

I'm 24 currently in my third year, and feeling pretty burnt out. I don't really enjoy my time at the hospital anymore, like I did at the beginning of the year. I feel like the whole time I'm there I'm just standing around not learning anything and generally being useless (feeling compounded by the fact that I'm on subspecialty outpatient clinics right now where I'm essentially shadowing providers). Every day, I wake up and feel fine when I go in, but then it's just a matter of time before some small problem makes me angry or frustrated and I feel shitty for the rest of the day. It's like I have no reserve left. At home on weeknights, all I really do is sleep (up to like 10+ hours a lot of nights now). I look forward to drinking a lot more than I used to. My friends notice that I'm more irritable. I don't work out nearly as much as I used to. I usually feel a lot better at the end of weekends/time off, but then I get slapped in the face with the sisyphean tasks of third year again first thing on Monday, and I'm right back where I started. One of the most bothersome things is that I'm also getting really cynical, to the point that essentially every time I see a bad outcome or a patient suffering, I think something along the lines of, "why does medicine have so much power and authority if this is the best we can do?" or "this person would have been better off if they had never even come to the hospital" or "I should have gone into research where you can actually do something good for the world rather than just dispense pointless, expensive treatments that make people suffer." I also have a lot of thoughts along the line of "you're not going to learn anything today because all this shit is below you" and "the expectations for you are so low and you're sufficiently smart that nothing you do today will affect your grade." Do I actually believe that stuff if I sit down and think through it? Definitely not. But it's like those thoughts are always sitting right at the edge of my thinking, ready to jump in the second I get a little bit down during the day. It's pretty exhausting trying to challenge them all the time, and they're definitely negatively impacting my ability to learn stuff in clinic. Needless to say, this is making it hard to get through the remaining (pretty tough) rotations I have left to complete. I don't know how much longer I can keep up the "interested med student" act and cynicism suppression that have pulled me through the last 6-8 weeks of feeling like this. I might just drop out. how do you deal with this kind of cynicism and burnout?

Hope you get through this. Seek help or talk to someone you can trust. Sharing helps, it's the first step. Take some time out to really figure everything out

My advice to you, quit medicine and study something else while you are still 24. This may seem like bad advice tight now but you will never regret it. No one has ever recovered from medical burn out. And the suicide rate is significant

very relatable. I'm experiencing mental exhaustion. some moments it gets better, some days i just wanna die. i didn't feel this way before studying medicine

Thanks for sharing luv, glad to see you're doing better and taking care of yourself. Much strength 💙

I am shocked. You always look like you have your life figured out. I always thought you had perfect grades and the perfect life. I am sorry about your depression that you experienced in med school. I can relate to this.

I'm struggling with alot and the fact that I'm slow learner at school its even making more depressed because it's embarrassing to fail

Man this is such a an important message to tell people. Thank you for sharing this. Me being nurse depression really hit me bad , its important to get help . I ended up leaving nursing due to how badly it was impacting my mental health and I became so anxious. The switch in career was so needed , I don't know if I'll go back but it is what I needed to do. Thank you for this Nellah . ☺

Congratulations Dr Nellah!

I’m not a medical student but I am nursing student. When I am depressed it really effects my academic’s.

Thank you , obrigada, dankie,gracias... you really did a great job.

Congratulations on getting married I must’ve missed that. I’ve suffered from depression and complex ptsd but I’ve gone through CMht and private and had stabilisation therapy and CAT and I finally feel better. If it wasn’t for the pandemic I’d have continued with my avoidance behaviours and i was shielding so I got therapy and finally feel the traumas I experienced as a very young child and teen don’t control my life. I have hope now… I found face to face counselling or zoom counselling better because I don’t trust people but I respect some people like apps and such like. It was hard to work on and at times it was very dark but where I am now made it so worth it and I’m only half way through my treatment. So important we talk About it because if you moan online people unfollow you because “you’re being negative” (that’s the inner voice talking) why can’t we instead ask people if they’re ok and offer support instead it’s easier to ignore and so that isolates sufferers more and it gets too much. So important Well done for talking about it I also suffer seaonsal affective disorder never feel rested and as soon as we get to mid March it’s like I spring into life but from October to now it’s awful but I now have a light box which has helped and of course vitamin D and I try to be in my garden with sunlight at lunch time to get some sort of sun to help. SAD is no joke it’s incredible how darker mornings and evenings can impact life and energy and rest

What an incredible journey you've had. I don't want to be cliche and say you're "Strong", so "independent" - you are these things. But what you are most is LIVED. You've lived through a huge challenge and you came out of it on the other side, brighter and healthier. I am incredibly happy for you. I am actually a Medical Doctor who quit Medicine in the end and have no regrets about it, but it is so refreshing to see many like you sharing your experiences. Wishing you the best, onwards and upwards :)

Your content is good, very helpful video

I seriously understand this...... Sometimes I have to take a week or 2 off to get myself back so I don't run mad before my own eyes.... Thanks for sharing..... This is something the world needs to hear..... Wind down when it's getting overwhelming

Mental health and medicine is a real thing..been through it

I had a junior who lost his sanity after his 2nd MBBS exams (Path, Micro,Pharmacolgy and forensic medeicine ) . He studied really hard for the exams and something seemed off throughout the exams but by the time he finished , he had lost it . No one recognized the signs or what the stress of the exam was doing to him.

Can u tell me how much GPA u got in med school

Proud of you ❤️
