For doctors in Saskatchewan, depression and anxiety have skyrocketed during the pandemic.
We check in with Dr. Camelia Adams, an associate professor of psychiatry, who's been tracking physicians' mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Just one of the 118 physicians she surveyed reported asking for help with mental health issues.
That's no surprise to Angie Wiebe, one of the psychologists working with the University of Saskatchewan's Employee Assistance Program.
Wiebe said almost everyone she's counselling has experienced emotional distress because of the pandemic. In this episode, she shares warning signs to watch for, as mental health becomes "a bit of a pressure cooker".
