Description
Every year, nearly 400 physicians — the equivalent of two to three medical school classes — take their own lives. STRUGGLING IN SILENCE: PHYSICIAN DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE explores this alarming trend. Through touching and sometimes tragic stories, the documentary explores the effect of depression and suicide on a diverse group of physicians, medical students, their families and entire communities. The film profiles doctors living with a variety of mood disorders: a medical-school student, once teetering on the verge of failure, makes a surprising comeback; a surgeon facing the stigmatizing attitudes and policies of his Southern town; and a neurologist who was introduced to new areas of patient care as a result of her bipolar disorder. Experts offer valuable information about depression's symptoms, neurobiology and treatment; its prevalence in the medical community; the need to cultivate a supportive environment for physicians and the ongoing struggle to destigmatize mental illness.
