Abstract
Doctors belong to the professional group most experienced by burnout, chronic fatigue and depression syndromes. Experiencing the pandemic crisis further increases the risk of stress and possible decompensation.

It indicates the sources of stress, the importance of individual threats and distinguishes between effective and ineffective strategies for dealing with stress.
