Answer by  Shi (48)

Some statistics say dentists have high suicide rates. Really it could be any profession that includes a great deal of responsibility, generally for human life, and a general lack of acceptance, in the industry, of people who have sought help from mental health professionals.

The tale of dentists and suicide was promoted by "Seinfeld" and is an urban legend. There is no connection between suicide and one's professional. Highest suicide rates in the U.S. are among teens, and African-American males and Native American males aged 24-35.
