Your question takes : Two issues to solve. One is being depressed: make a consult without delay. Your performance will suffer and the condition become more difficult to treat after six months. Secondly is about being a good physician: your life experience is very valuable, knowing that you need help and you got it is capital to your health. Learning about your illness is primordial.

Therapy CBT now: Forget reading about being a good dr. That will come w/time experience. You will learn the most from your patients and physician role models. Empathy goes further than most pharmaceuticals but don't become a bleeding heart either. Keep a healthy professional distance. Take time for yourself. Read the classics. The teaching company or iutunes latter free. Read "the house of god" by sam shem ffun!
