My career and life crashed to a halt after 25 years in clinical medicine. I was at one point “suicidal with planning and intent”. Medical knowledge in the hands of a suicidal physician can be deadly. As an affluent, respected physician, confident in my position, well-liked and admired by society, yet suffering inside, why did I not seek help?
Reach out to your loved ones, and be honest. Trust me, they will help you. You are loved in more ways than you can imagine, because you are one unique lovable bright spot in this world. So stay with us and shine on us. This a Physicians Anonymous co-founder’s story of how she lost a spouse to suicide.

Studies have shown that more than half of health care practitioners meet the criteria for burnout or a mental health diagnosis.

Physicians Anonymous provides coaching.
You will be our client, and not our patient. You will receive coaching, and not treatment.
Therefore, if you engage in our services, it will not show up on your records.
