Psychiatric News (3/4) reports, “The risk of suicide among physicians who are women appears to be higher than women in the general population,” investigators concluded. Investigators “found that women physicians were 46% more likely than women in the general population to die by suicide.” In contrast, “men physicians were 33% less likely than men in the general population to die by suicide.” The findings of the nine-study meta-analysis and systematic review were published online March 4 in JAMA Psychiatry.
