Each day a physician dies by suicide in the U.S. — a number widely acknowledged as the highest rate of suicide of any profession — and 1.4 times that of the general male population for men physicians and 2.3 times that of the general female population for women physicians.
It is possible, say some experts, that overall physician suicide rates are getting close to the national suicide rate of military veterans at 30 per 100,000, which have been treated as an epidemic.

Many employees feel the need to be "always on" because of the capabilities of technology, potentially leading to “technology addiction.” Are employers responsible for this and do they encourage the behavior by rewarding quick responses from their staff? Are employees responsible for setting boundaries? And if we hold employers responsible for tech addiction, does that apply to other areas, such as blaming employers for lung cancer because employees can smoke onsite?

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, depression is among the most common mental health problems, affecting near 16 to 20 individuals out of 100 across the world, ranging from chronic low mood known as dysthymia or depression. The disorder is more evident among women and affects geriatrics much more than younger ones. As a result, the demand for devices that aid in overcoming these phases are gaining demand.

When you have an assignment, presentation, or a job interview, you know it is essential that you prepare for it. Yet, getting started feels like a monumental task. You may check your email and feel like you need to respond right away, or your friend texts, and you feel the urge to reply. Maybe you go on social media for a few minutes before you embark on the task at hand. You fidget, get a drink and a snack. You get another text, and your assignment just keeps getting further and further postponed.
Procrastination is king when individuals experience anxiety, maladaptive perfectionism, and other mental and emotional challenges. But we all procrastinate at one time or another.
Why does our mind lead us to play stalling games?

We all do it. Sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for an appointment, halfway through a workplace meeting that is going on and on, during a conversation that is getting a little too intense — we pull out the smartphone. Check for the dopamine-inducing icons that say something else can use our attention. This is what I call “technovoidance” — the management and avoidance of unpleasant psychological and physiological states through media and devices. (Note, this is in contrast to “technoference,” which refers to the way devices interrupt our lives).

After years of drug addiction and homelessness, Kenny Sawyer found himself staring at a job application at Hypertherm, a New Hampshire company that makes industrial cutting tools.
He was sober at last. He really wanted this job. But the application asked whether he had been convicted of any felonies.
Sawyer hadn’t. But he decided later that the company would want to know he had been jailed for misdemeanor assault after a fight over a crack purchase years earlier. He called to volunteer that information, well aware that a scrape with the law could cost him the opportunity. “When I called back, that could have been the end of the deal,” Sawyer said recently. “But it wasn’t.” Sawyer was hired in 2010 and still works at Hypertherm.
The company is one of 70 employers in the state that are casting themselves as “recovery friendly,” a wide-ranging term that signifies a new approach to the millions of people whose lives have been interrupted by drug and alcohol addiction.

A new set of legal issues could be popping up with the recent rollout of recreational pot in Massachusetts, forcing employers and employees to educate themselves before toking up.
Drug testing and privacy issues will be the biggest game changers, and business owners will need to take a hard look at their drug policies according to Eric LeBlanc, Cambridge-based attorney at Bennett & Belfort.
