MD Magazine (4/12, Campbell) reported a 347-study review “has identified several risk factors and limitations of past articles that examine physician suicides and its causes.” According to MD Magazine, “unique risks included specialized knowledge, access to lethal methods, and specialties.” Other “less-studied risks included personality traits, adverse childhood events, relationship status with a partner, relationship with parents, economic burdens, religiosity, and cultural upbringing.” The findings were presented at the ACP 2019 Internal Medicine Annual Meeting.
