A member asked:
Can a psychiatrist see another psychiatrist and have issues of their own? or are they not allowed to practice if they have issues?

Severity: It depends on the severity of the issue. Not just presence or absence of issue and state medical board statutes.

Yes: Many psychiatrist, other mental health workers, and physicians see psychiatrists. It is the severity of the issue, and the safety of their patients which would prevent them from practising as a physician.
