Suicide among doctors in Turkey: Differences across gender, medical specialty and the method of suicide

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we identified the suicidal characteristics of medical students and doctors in Turkey for the first time. The results help us to better understand this understudied topic and provide an avenue for future studies. The data also indicate that it is important to monitor the individual and systemic difficulties experienced by doctors, starting from the medical education stage, and to provide individual and environmental support to help decrease the risk of suicide.PMID:36881366 | DOI:10.17219/acem/159423
