“Far too many doctors-many of them excellent physicians-commit suicide each year; one recent study concluded that, until quite recently, the United States lost annually the equivalent of a medium-sized medical school class from suicide alone. Most physician suicides are due to depression or manic-depressive illness, both of which are eminently treatable. Physicians, unfortunately, not only suffer from a higher rate of mood disorders than the general population, they also have a greater access to very effective means of suicide.” YearsMeanStatesSchoolSufferingLostUnitedClassUnited StatesStudyGreaterHigherDoctorsSuicideRatePopulationIllnessDuesAccessMedicalMoodCommitMediumsExcellentDisorderPhysiciansManicMedical SchoolDepressiveYear OneMood Disorders Book:An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness Source: An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
“It seemed to me that I now saw the Star Maker in two aspects: as the spirit's particular creative mood that had given rise to me, the cosmos; and also, most dreadfully, as something incomparably greater than creativity, namely as the eternally achieved perfection of the absolute spirit.

“Daily contact with some teachers is itself all-sided ethical education for the child without a spoken precept.

“Depression seems to be related to fear, anger and frustration. When you're in a bad mood, even if you meet with your friends, you don't take pleasure in their company. But when you're in a good mood, even if things go wrong, you can cope with them without difficulty. This is why putting yourself in a good mood, making a point of developing a sense of loving kindness gives you greater inner strength.” IfsGivingSeemsPleasureCompanyKindnessGreaterDepressionDifficultyMoodDevelopingRelatedFrustrationInner StrengthBe KindWrongCopingWise Man Once SaidLoving KindnessBad MoodGood MoodAnger And Frustration Author:Dalai Lama
