Zusammenfassung:[...]doctors with depression have higher rates of suicide than the average population, with a relative risk of 1.1 to 3.4 for men and 2.5 to 5.7 for women. In some cases, we may not reach out because we don't know what resources are available or what to do if a colleague does discuss their mental health issues.

Learn about the resources in your community - perhaps your county or organization has a physician wellness program that provides free and confidential psychology sessions to members.
