“…The profession of psychiatry may be becoming stressful for many practitioners. Not paying urgent attention to the growing problem of burnout in psychiatrists may have dire consequences for the profession that is already facing diminishing entrants and stigma (Kendell & Pearce, 1997;Storer, 2002;Roberts, 2010).…”

Medicine in most parts of the world is becoming a stressful profession. Psychiatrists represent a high-risk group among doctors for experiencing burnout, alcohol and drug use, posing suicide risk and other forms of work-related stress. There are reports that entrants in the profession of psychiatrists are decreasing globally. Conceptual issues related to burnout are explored and factors contributing to burnout in psychiatrists are reviewed. Methodologically sound studies are needed to help us understand positive aspects of psychiatry as a profession and the environment psychiatrists work in. Effective treatment programmes for burnout are also needed not only to reduce suffering but also to retain psychiatrists in the profession.

“…The study confirms the high administrative and clinical workload described by senior 19th century psychiatrists. Red tape, bureaucracy and an unmanageable administrative workload are often cited as a cause of stress and early retirement by psychiatrists working today (Kendell & Pearce, 1997). That these stresses existed 100 years ago suggests a failure by the profession to manage these demands satisfactorily.…”

The mythology of 19th-century asylums portrays them as dark and inhuman gothic institutions. Historical research is beginning to shed new light onto this world, however, forcing us to re-examine long-held beliefs. Case note analyses have consistently shown high levels of psychiatric morbidity in the patients admitted to these institutions (Turner, 1992; Beveridge, 1995; Doody et al, 1996). Patients' letters have been examined and confirm high levels of florid psychopathology (Beveridge, 1997), they also reveal some aspects of the rich social and cultural life available to patients at the Royal Edinburgh Asylum. Such studies add to our understanding of the culture of mental hospitals described by Jones (1991).

“…An important consequence of the above conditions seem to be the recent crisis in the recruitment and retention of psychiatrists, both in the UK and abroad 11,12 . In the UK psychiatrists who had retired early reported significant dissatisfaction with how psychiatry was conducted in the country while trainees identified inadequate sourcing, understaffing, and excess bureaucracy as the three major difficulties in the quality and safety of psychiatric practice 13 . However, a latest study evaluating changes introduced in UK psychiatry in the past decade found that training demands, rapid changes in the NHS, working across interfaces, and work-life balance are currently psychiatrists' major difficulties 14 .…”

-Background and Objectives: Although previous research reports that psychiatrists experience greater work-related distress than other specialties, very little is known about how psychiatric trainees compare to their medical colleagues. The aim of this study was to compare psychiatric and general medical trainees in burnout, work stressors, and social support and investigate potential buffering effects of social support.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 112 psychiatric and 72 general medical trainees, based in the UK. Participants completed three questionnaires on-line: Maslach Burnout Inventory, Specialist Doctors' Stress Inventory, and Social Support Scale.Results: According to the findings, psychiatric trainees reported less burnout, fewer time demands, more consultant and emotional support but less family support than general medical trainees. In addition, social support moderated the effects of specialty on burnout, as it substantially reduced depersonalisation in medical but not in psychiatric trainees.Conclusions: Findings may reflect recent changes in psychiatric training in the UK. Factors contributing specifically to medical trainees' burnout and factors potentially preventing psychiatric trainees from utilising social support need to be explored in future research. The cross-sectional design and the low response rate were the main limitations of the study.
