Abstract :
vidence suggests the high rates of
“burnout,” “depression,” and
“suicidal ideation” among medical
doctors and medical students. However, due
to privacy, possible job impact, stigma, etc.
these two groups might not seek proper
mental health treatment (1). As a result,
medical practitioners and medical students
have a higher suicide rate compared with the
general population (2-7). It has been suggested
that familiarity with and easy access to
dangerous means of suicide such as drugs
could partially explain this elevated risk (8, 9).
