Journal Article
Physician suicide too often “brushed under the rug”
2017
Overview
When Dr. Christine Moutier worked for the University of California San Diego, she was asked by the dean of medical education to find out the number of deaths by suicide among faculty physicians. She began looking at the previous 15 years, expecting to find they had lost four, perhaps five, doctors to suicide. To her surprise, and dismay, the number was actually 13. She would venture to guess that their experience of suicide loss is not necessarily different from other academic institutions, said Moutier, now chief medical officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, during a session at the Canadian Conference on Physician Health in Ottawa. Moutier presented data on the mental illness toll on doctors in the US. Research shows that 39% of physicians have experienced depression, twice the rate of the general population.
