If we weren&#8217;t, we wouldn&#8217;t be here,&#8221; Dr. Rice said.<\/p>\n<p><B>Care for the caretakers<\/B><\/p>\n<p>But even students who were most successful and well-grounded as undergraduates tend to have their worlds rocked at an institution as demanding as UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>And self-driven health care students tend to be among the worst at seeking help.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Liu has a few theories why:<br \/>\n<UL><LI>Students may feel like they&#8217;re in it alone (they&#8217;re not, Dr. Liu said).<br \/>\n<LI>They think they just have to get through this tough time, life won&#8217;t always be this busy (&#8220;I keep waiting for that to happen,&#8221; Dr. Liu said).<br \/>\n<LI>They think they simply don&#8217;t have other options (&#8220;I ain&#8217;t got time to bleed&#8221;). <\/UL><\/p>\n<p><B>Help is available<\/B><\/p>\n<p>But at UNMC, the panel said, students can get help or take needed time off without fear.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it may be tough to overcome personalities, stigma, culture. Dr. Liu noted that physicians have a 40 percent higher rate of suicide than the general population among males. In females, the rate was 130 percent higher.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We probably know more effectively how to put an end to things,&#8221; Dr. Rice said. &#8220;One problem among nurses, we have access to meds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><B>Change is underway<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Liu hopes for a &#8220;generational change&#8221; &#8212; of those not only willing to seek support, but to serve as role models for doing so.<\/p>\n<p>Drs. Carver and Daughton noted that counseling resources at UNMC are readily available, highly confidential, and are looking to help, rather than label someone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do whatever it is that you do that keeps you healthy,&#8221; Dr. Rice said. &#8220;Listening to music for a half hour a day. Exercising. Whatever it is &#8212; do that. And watch for our peers and colleagues. We&#8217;re in this together. That&#8217;s really what professionalism is about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More information on student counseling can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/stucouns\/\" target=\"_blanK\" rel=\"noopener\">found
