Every day in the United States, a doctor dies by suicide. It's a sad statistic, one that hits especially close to home for Dr. Nishant Patel, a urologist by training and the founder of SafeHavenMD, a mental health platform created for physicians, by physicians. But SafeHavenMD is more than a company. For Dr. Patel, it's personal.
"As a physician, I've had a journey with a lot of the issues that the general public faces: depression, substance use, burnout from job pressure and family issues," he says. "Sometimes I was met with support. Often, I wasn't."
