Most healthcare and human services workers dealing with the effects of Compassion Fatigue usually resort to doing what they’ve always done: Work harder and give more until they are completely tapped out. Compassion Fatigue is not just a “fluffy” term for burnout. It depletes not just your mind and your body, but the very core of who you are as a human being-your emotions, your soul. Oftentimes taking the form of disdain for the frailty of humanity, this psychological foe can lead a person, who at one time entered the field of healthcare out of compassion, to walk away cynical and jaded.  Whether you’re caring for a friend or family member with a terminal illness or you’re a trained medical professional, compassion fatigue is one of the deadliest adversaries any healthcare personnel can face.

Todos tenemos puntos altos y puntos bajos a lo largo de nuestra vida. Es una parte normal de la vida. La mayoría de nosotros podemos identificarnos cuando alguien que conocemos pasa por un período de inactividad después de experimentar algún tipo de pérdida u otro evento angustioso. Incluso cuando personalmente tenemos que pasar por una ola ocasional de tristeza, generalmente no entramos en pánico porque sabemos que con el tiempo, tal vez en cuestión de horas o días, los sentimientos de tristeza se desvanecerán gradualmente. Cuando los sentimientos de tristeza y desesperanza no desaparecen, esto podría ser un indicador de un trastorno depresivo. La depresión no es un defecto de carácter ni una debilidad personal. La depresión es una condición compleja con una serie de aspectos emocionales, cognitivos, físicos y conductuales.  

We all face ups and downs from time to time. It’s a normal part of life. Most of us can relate when someone we know goes through a down period after experiencing some type of loss or other distressing event. Even when we personally have to ride out an occasional wave of sadness, we usually don’t panic because we know that in time-maybe in just a matter of hours or days, we’ll bounce back and the sad feelings will gradually fade. When feelings of sadness and hopelessness don’t fade, this could be indicative of a depressive disorder. Depression isn’t a character defect or personal weakness. Depression is a complex condition with a number of emotional, cognitive, physical, and behavioral aspects.  This course will help you develop and utilize strategies, tools, and resources to help those suffering from depression.
