I was thinking maybe it had something to do with access to drugs… The article says this which I think may hint at this having some truth to it…

Contributing to the higher suicide rate among physicians is their higher completion to attempt ratio, which may result from greater knowledge of lethality of drugs and easy access to means.

If your average Joe wants to do it he has few options… Doctors can get any dangerous drug they want… It’s all very sad. I never knew this. Also of course has to do the with stress they’re under.

Yea true. I think they experiment with drugs a lot of the time too. Like prescribed themselves stuff under the table even if they don’t necessarily need it…sorry sad situation sometimes I think.

I’ve seen doctors do whatever they want with their scripts
