Working in psychiatry is generally rewarding. However, it can also lack job satisfaction and be detrimental to personal life. Research findings indicate high rates of burnout (Kumar et al, 2007), impaired health status of practitioners (Korkeila et al, 2003), negative effects of violence in the workplace (Inoue et al, 2006) and lack of job satisfaction (Fischer et al, 2007; Bressi et al, 2009).
