Suicide risk

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was joking with someone at work about dentists and the suicide myth and the lady said that her husband was a dentist and they knew a dentist that committed suicide. It is still definately a load of BS.

Absolutely! Be very careful when you become a dentist. It changes who you are, your genetic and chemical make-up, and you are presumed a threat to yourself until proven otherwise. :laugh: Come on people use your heads a little bit. 😱
 
did anybody read the articles??? goodness people.. I was being sarcastic....those articles say that it is definately a myth
 
I think that cops and firefighters have the highest risk so I am actually safer as a dentist
 
actually, dentists tend to have the same mental profiling of serial killers.

true story- a local oral surgeon/forensic dentist told me that, also he used to patrol in cop cars on friday nights just for the fun of it- after treating patients all day.
