Glad to share the stage at the 4𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘚𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘖𝘳𝘔𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘳, discussing “𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆: 𝗔 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.”

Dentistry is a rewarding yet physically and emotionally demanding service-oriented vocation, making it highly vulnerable to burnout. Consistent self-monitoring of stress and burnout levels allows early intervention before strain progresses into chronic exhaustion, disengagement, and reduced professional efficacy.

The goal is not merely to avoid burnout, but to cultivate a sustainable, resilient, and fulfilling dental career. Because when dentists thrive, patient care thrives.

𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗴 𝗜𝘀𝗶𝗽: 𝗔 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

To begin, it's important to understand that psychologists and psychiatrists are two distinct professions. However, they share a common goal which is to provide support to individuals experiencing mental health concerns.

A 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health. As such, their first line of treatment often involves pharmacological intervention, meaning they can prescribe medications as part of the treatment plan.

On the other hand, a 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 is not a medical doctor and therefore cannot prescribe medication. Instead, their primary role in treatment among others is through counseling and psychotherapy, commonly referred to as "talk therapy”, which utilizes various therapeutic techniques aimed at helping clients manage and overcome emotional, behavioral, and cognitive difficulties.

Attending this seminar will help me, as a psychologist, recognize the importance of integrating medical perspectives into my practice. Gaining a deeper understanding of the medical foundations of mental health conditions, and how psychiatric medications contribute to treatment, would enable me to engage in more informed and meaningful discussions.

Thank you 𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀, 𝗠𝗗, 𝗙𝗣𝗣𝗔, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Batangas Medical Center (BatMC), for bringing this insightful and enriching event to Oriental Mindoro.

Everyday life comes with challenges, but simple psychological tools can make a big difference in making things lighter.

So glad for the opportunity to share tips on managing reactions and perceptions, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating a resilient mindset during my second radio guesting.

Big thanks to Radyo Natin Calapan and Miss Tin of Radyo Natin Ormin 🫶
