Doctor's Struggle with Depression | Dr. Michael Weinstein, Surgeon

Описание: Doctors are the healers and the helpers. But what happens when it’s the #doctors who need the healing and the help? Doctors who die by suicide often have untreated or under treated #depression or other #mentalillnesses.

An estimated 300 to 400 doctors die by suicide each year, a rate of 28 to 40 per 100,000; more than double that of general population.*

However, the #stigma of a mental illness may be too overwhelming for some in the medical community to deal with, and they often mask their pain, rather than seek help. That’s why Dr. Michael Weinstein, a #surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, is so very brave.
