Question by Anthony D: Do Medical Doctors Have A High Suicide Rate?
I was doing a recent Google search ” Doctors have a high suicide rate” and according to a few studies off the internet, that medical doctors have over 365+ deaths per year (1 per day) due to depression, or other work related issues among surgical physicians and D.D.S professionals!

Anybody find any truth to this?

I’ve never really understood why it’s so prevalent among Dentists.
