National physician suicide awareness day

Written By Anthony M. Avellino

September 17th is National Physician Suicide Awareness Day.

Physicians have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession. Prevention begins with understanding the warning signs to look for in someone who may be suicidal. With the HEART acronym, I hope to help you easily remember these signs.
