One topic he’s been talking about a lot lately is the issue of mental health in the profession, which he feels is largely self-induced. Although he’s been asked to talk about mental health without mentioning burnout–don’t be a downer–Crabtree says it’s impossible. “I’m like, I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. It doesn’t go away if I don’t talk about it,” he said.
