 | Medical know-how raises suicide risk for doctors
Dr. Robert Lehmberg poses in a hallway at the Little
Rock, Ark., Veterans Hospital Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Lehmberg says
he has battled depression and long considered suicide "an exit
strategy if absolutely necessary." About 300 or more U.S. doctors
kill themselves each year. Doctors are particularly susceptible to
the stubborn stigma of mental illness. Many fear admitting
psychiatric problems could be professional suicide, so they suffer in
silence. (AP Photo/Danny Johnston)
