Physicians deal with stress and burnout at a high rate due to the intensity and complexity of their roles in healthcare settings. Like everyone else, physicians deal with life stressors such as marriage, divorce, children, losses, substance abuse and others. Symptoms of depression and anxiety are not uncommon among physicians, yet it has proven difficult for them to access the assistance they might need. Dr. Westheimer has a special interest in working with physicians to address the various problems they may encounter. He is one of the participating psychologists in the Physician Wellness Program offered by the Travis County Medical Society http://www.tcms.com/pwp/
