Abstract
Objective: To analyze mental health and Burnout Syndrome (BS) in health professionals. Bibliographic review: Mental health problems often start during graduation due to the high stress load. Unbalanced schedules and increased administrative work were defined as key factors in producing poor mental health among health professionals. In physicians, the very nature of the profession as a competitive culture can lead to the emergence of mental health concerns. A recent systematic review indicated that more than 50% of doctors and nurses are suffering from BS which is an adaptive disorder to chronic stressors related to high demand in the work environment. Final considerations: The mental health of health professionals impacts both their personal lives and the work environment with reduced productivity and greater medical errors. In this context, it is imperative that health services meet the fundamental physiological needs of health professionals. This involves providing adequate nutrition, ensuring rotations/schedules are adhered to for sufficient rest, and limiting possible overwork that is a known factor for burnout.
