Scottsdale Doctor Helping Colleagues Deal With PTSD, Mental-Health Issues

Being a doctor or nurse can be a stressful job. Studies have shown health care providers are at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental-health issues.

But a Scottsdale doctor is trying to get his colleagues to identify and deal with these kinds of conditions.

Dr. Daniel Pacheco is an internist and chief medical officer at Banner Behavioral Hospital - he was previously a mental-health therapist.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
