There's a lot of lessons on scotch defense, but I cannot find any that teaches black how to defend when they immediately sacrifice the bishop and start an attack, although there are a ton of videos of how to use the bishop sacrifice to immediately win.

This seems to put black in an impossible position of having to defend against a queen, a knight and bishop with king out of position, and it is extremely difficult for me to navigate out of a mate for black at this point. At best I end up having your h rook completely stuck for the remaining of the game and white would hold an overwhelming advantage the remaining of the game.
