clipper's remarks: Fixing symptoms with pharma is not for the soul of the healer. The Doctor of today is becoming like a preprogrammed vending machine. Again, this can't be good for the heart of a healer. Thomas Edison said, "The doctors of the future will give no medicine but will interest their clients in the care of the human frame and in the cause and prevention of disease."

Those times are coming. Go to http://www.mynetimpact.com Login and enter Visitor ID 1302785 and look for the audio of the Doctors panel on the left. These doctors are alive with the hope of helping those who depend on them, to regain health and vitality. The future doctors are arriving.

Depressed doctors frequently decide to self-medicate but don't seek psychotherapy that could help them deal with underlying issues, said Dr. Glenn Siegel, who runs a suburban Chicago program that treats doctors with drug abuse, depression and other psychiatric problems.

Some studies have suggested depression is more common among doctors, especially women physicians, and that the high demands of a job dealing with life-and-death issues makes them prone.

New Jersey physician Ron Brown suffered from depression and killed himself in 2002. His widow, Mumtaz Bari-Brown, said she believes the stigma kept her husband from getting help in time to save his life.

CHICAGO - There's a grim, rarely talked-about twist to all that medical know-how doctors learn to save lives: It makes them especially good at ending their own. An estimated 300 to 400 U.S. doctors kill themselves each year - a suicide rate thought to be higher than in the general population, although exact figures are hard to come by.
