Want to enjoy a fulfilling life? Dont become a doctor. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, between 300 to 400 doctors kill themselves annually in the United States. Suicide rates among male doctors are 70 percent higher when compared to males in other professions, while suicide rates among female doctors are a whopping 250 to 400 percent higher when compared to females in other professions.The suicide rate among doctors is so high in the West, in fact, that physician earned the number 2 spot on Business Insiders list of the 19 jobs in which youre most likely to kill yourself.
