Physicians face a great deal of pressure as they work long hours, handle a high volume of patients, and deal with complex medical cases. In addition to these stressors, physicians are also expected to maintain a high level of professional conduct, provide outstanding patient care, and manage their personal lives. These expectations, when combined with feelings of isolation and burnout, can lead to physician suicide.

The medical community has only recently started to address this issue. It has been suggested that physician suicide is more of an occupational hazard than a health problem, and therefore requires an evidence-based, comprehensive approach.

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice.  This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone.  If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
