According to the literature, physicians have an increased risk of committing suicide, which can partly be explained by occupational stress. A retrospective analysis of the deaths investigated by the Hamburg office of Criminal Investigation and documents of the Hamburg Institute of Forensic Medicine for the years 2001 to 2013 showed that the average suicide rate among physicians is not significantly higher than that of the total population, it is 0.021% for physicians, 0.023% for dentists and 0.013% for the general public; thus the difference is not statistically significant (p: 0.57 for physicians and 0.74 for dentists). Drug intoxication has been found to be the most common method of suicide committed by physicians. However, these results must be interpreted with caution in view of the fact that a detailed evaluation of data was often not possible, especially because information as to the profession of the deceased and the motive for the suicide were missing or insufficiently documented.
根据文献记载，医生自杀风险有所增加，部分原因可归咎于职业压力。对汉堡刑事调查办公室所调查的死亡案例以及汉堡法医学研究所2001年至2013年的文件进行回顾性分析发现，医生的平均自杀率并不显著高于总人口的自杀率，医生的自杀率为0.021%，牙医为0.023%，普通大众为0.013%；因此，差异无统计学意义（医生组p值为0.57，牙医组p值为0.74）。药物中毒被发现是医生自杀最常见的方式。然而，鉴于常常无法对数据进行详细评估，尤其是由于缺少死者职业信息以及自杀动机信息或记录不充分，这些结果必须谨慎解读。
