title: Depression and fatigue in the primary care physician.
abstract: Fatigue is a symptom that is found in a variety of psychiatric disorders. The nature of a physician's life may foster such symptoms that can be either a reaction to work or a sign of an emotional disorder. This article summarizes various developmental stages that can lead to such problems. These difficulties may also be found in the physician's family and can be easily overlooked.
