This document is entirely based on experiential expertise. It's a first-person account of Berger's lived experience with major depression as a psychiatrist trainee. He shares personal insights from navigating mental health treatment, colleague support, professional fears, and recovery within the medical community - pure experiential knowledge.

This document incorporates significant practice wisdom. While primarily experiential, Berger draws on his professional knowledge as a psychiatrist trainee, understanding of AHPRA regulations, clinical insights about confidentiality and mandatory reporting, and practical wisdom about navigating mental health services as both clinician and patient.

This document is not based on research and evaluation insights. It's a personal narrative without citations, systematic analysis, or empirical data. Berger references AHPRA policy changes and mentions colleague experiences anecdotally, but provides no research evidence, studies, or formal evaluations to support his recommendations.
