abstract="Many, if not most, psychiatrists will experience a patient suicide in their professional lifetimes. Reactions to such events vary but are often associated with significant distress and clinical symptoms. A characteristic set of reactions can be identified and anticipated. Less experienced psychiatrists, and especially residents, are the most vulnerable to more serious distress. As a profession, we can help each other and our younger colleagues by having a more open discussion of the topic and by remembering that those of us who treat serious psychiatric disorders must anticipate losing some patients to the disorders we treat.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
