What the hell, animal lovers? You are the best people, please dont feel like your life is not worthwhile. The veterinary industry has one of the highest suicide rates of any industry. Animal-lovers are usually soft-hearted and compassionate, and I know more veterinary nurses and veterinarians struggling with depression then I could possibly count. Anxiety disorders, depression, compassion fatigue and burn out are frequent in our industry, and it seems that not a week goes by that we hear of another vet or vet nurse/tech who has taken their own life. Dr Sophia Yin was an amazing veterinarian and animal behaviorist who took her life a few days ago. Seriously - vets, vet nurses, animal shelter workers, rescuers and any other animal people on my friends list. If you need help, please reach out. You will probably discover that your co-workers are fighting battles not so different from your own. If you love animals, take the time to watch this video and lets give this amazing woman the respect and remembrance she deserves. https://youtube/watch?v=6CG4W7v1_34#t=209
