Mental health and addiction health service use by physicians compared to non-physicians before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: A population-based cohort study in Ontario, Canada

ConclusionsThe first 18 months of the COVID –19 pandemic was associated with a larger increase in outpatient MHA visits in physicians than non–physicians. These findings suggest physicians may have had larger negative mental health during COVID–19 than the general population and highlight the need for increased access to mental health s ervices and system level changes to promote physician wellness.
