Highest suicide rate – why Austrian vets are suicidal

Date:

“I would like to be a vet someday!” is often mentioned by children as a career aspiration. The idea of ​​dealing with “dog, cat, mouse” every day and curing sick patients is too good. But the reality in this profession paints a different picture: vets commit suicide more often than the rest of the population.

They save animal lives and are still unhappy: three out of ten vets in Norway say they don’t think their lives are worth living. One in twenty has serious suicidal thoughts and one in five hundred has attempted suicide. These are the astonishing results of a survey that nearly three-quarters of Norway’s 3,700 vets took part two years ago.
