A recent study suggests better overall profile for Austrian psychotherapists compared to general population. However, substantial proportion still exhibited scores beyond cut-off clinically significant disorders, potentially undermining efficacy patient outcomes. cross-sectional was conducted between April June 2023, enrolling cohort 502 (79.7% female; mean age: 53.4 ± 9.26 years). The analysis leveraged indicators symptoms depression (PHQ-2), anxiety (GAD-2), insomnia (ISI-2), stress (PSS-4), and well-being (WHO-5). Key correlations were revealed using multivariable logistic regressions incorporating sociodemographic, work-related, behavior variables. Mental in associated with lower income, lesser physical activity, employment outpatient facilities, less experience field, smaller load. Notably, activity emerged as protective component, underscoring regular exercise vital self-care routine psychotherapists. Adequate income also presented crucial contributor stability.
