Tens of thousands of Americans, including hundreds of physicians, take their lives each year.
Why is it so common? And why physicians?
Doctors are notorious for being the worst patients, and most fail to seek help.More needs to be done to address the strains healthcare workers face and offer the support needed to prevent burnout, depression, and suicide.
Despite the thousands of books out there describing depression diagnosis and treatment, there aren't many resources for those healthcare providers who deny that they are struggling or at risk.
This book aims to change that for both the physician and the medical student who are struggling in this ever-evolving field.
