BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Doctors and mental health

We speak to therapists who treat doctors with mental health problems

Earlier this week we heard from health care professionals who had left or were thinking of leaving their jobs because of the pressures on the frontline during the pandemic. Today we play a conversation with therapists in the US and the UK, who discuss potential solutions and explain how challenges for doctors and other health care workers began long before the arrival of the pandemic.

We get the latest from our correspondent in Jerusalem on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and hear from residents on both sides whose lives have been disrupted by the violence, 

We’ll get questions answered about the pandemic by our regular expert, Dr Marc Mendelson in Cape Town, South Africa and look at the spread of the Indian variant of coronavirus around the world. And an Indian journalist talks about her experiece of trying to find treatment for her mother who had Covid-19, and how one Uber driver went above and beyond to help her.
