The Doctors' Support Network (DSN) is a fully confidential, friendly self-help group for doctors with mental health concerns.

These concerns include stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychoses and eating disorders. The group believes that contact with and support from other doctors can help recovery.

All doctors in the group have themselves been troubled at some stage in their lives. This group is therefore well placed to help those who are beginning the slow process of re-establishing themselves after a breakdown or other mental crisis. The group also believes that appropriate support offered before a crisis develops helps defuse it.

We do what nobody else does

'As doctors we are used to supporting patients' health and well being, but we often neglect our own. Doctors have among the highest rate of mental health problems of any profession, but often feel isolated and unsupported. The Doctors' Support Network aims to provide support, reduce stigma, and campaign for better services for doctors with a range of mental health problems.'
