Physician suicide—its incidence, causes, and prevention—has been a subject of intense study, particularly since the landmark meta-analysis by Schernhammer.¹ In this issue of JAMA Psychiatry, Duarte and colleagues² provide a much-needed update on physician suicide rates in a meta-analysis of global studies. But ultimately, physician suicide is more than a matter of standardized mortality ratios; rather, it is a tragedy both personally and professionally. Any discussion of physician suicide deaths needs to recognize the far-reaching influence that even a single suicide has on the physician’s community.

医生自杀-个人和社区的悲剧。

医师自杀（其发生率，病因和预防方法）一直是深入研究的主题，尤其是自Schernhammer进行具有里程碑意义的荟萃分析以来。¹在本期《JAMA精神病学》中，Duarte及其同事²在对全球研究的荟萃分析中提供了医生自杀率的急需更新。但是归根结底，医师自杀不仅仅是一个标准化的死亡率比率问题。而是个人和职业上的悲剧。关于医生自杀死亡的任何讨论都需要认识到，即使是一个自杀事件也对医生社区产生了深远的影响。
