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.
However, few seek treatment because of fear that it would show up on their record, potentially affecting licensing, credentialing, or medical malpractice discovery.
Physicians Anonymous provides anonymous peer-support and coaching.
We fill a crucial niche in the physician support ecosystem.
Peer-support and coaching are not treatment and are completely off the record.
We aim to reduce physician suicide by 50% in 5 years.

In Part 3, we explore the systemic causes leading to physician suicide. In so doing we hope to contribute to physician suicide prevention and highlight the toxic systemic issues that no amount of resilience training or individual risk factor modification can fix.
In Part 2, we explore the barriers to physicians seeking help and debunk these. In so doing we hope to contribute to physician suicide prevention, improve understanding of the-seeking contributors to the epidemic of physician suicide.
