    Physicians Aren't Immune to Suicide and Depression

    Medicine is a tough profession. It's both tremendously rewarding and terribly demanding. Physicians are at the front lines of humanity, along with nurses, therapists and more. But being at the front lines can be risky: In a study, nearly 50 percent of doctors reporting that they were burned out.  physicians, who are on call 24/7, have it the worst, followed closely by physicians working in other demanding subspecialties.

    Studies about physician burnout are important but they typically don't reflect this group's high risk for even more dire mental health outcomes. Past research has also shown that physicians have a higher risk for suicide compared with other professions,  in the top ten of risky professions. And a recent Lancet study notes that , one physician dies from suicide every day in the U. S.

    Suicidal tendencies  the whole community. Health care systems respond with wellness meetings and other interventions but trainees still report feeling uncared for. In fact, several trainees privately tell me that they have to report fewer hours than they actually work.

    Research studies  similar concerns to those I've heard. They report that workplace factors contribute to physician suicide "including a large workload, competitiveness of training programs, pressure of patient and service demands and the risk of  injury if physicians are forced to work in ways that conflict with their ethics and values."

    This new analysis is a major  for understanding and appropriately responding to the mental health crisis today. Instead of  on the past, the alarm has now been sounded: Greater attention must be paid to physician well-being. We want physicians to be safe and well, but we also need to help patients by  good health practices. Fortunately, preventive measures are already underway. Soon, we will hopefully be able to better  part of what is missing in the current conversation about physician mental health.
