A Psychiatrist's Mental Health Blog

Ghost
sarah-chan.ghost.io· irregular· Published 29 days ago

A practising psychiatrist shares personal essays on burnout, the limits of short consultation-only psychiatric care, and when emotional difficulties may be better addressed through friends, community and local resources before seeing a doctor. Readers get candid professional reflection plus practical triage advice, though the writing leans on general principles more than detailed case material.
