Women aren't the only ones experiencing discrimination

I was saddened to see this story about a male midwife in Wales who committed suicide, in large part because of workplace harassment. In his suicide note he asked that no one from the hospital where he worked be permitted to attend the funeral.

With no psychological training, I don't have more to say on this, at least not authoritatively. My sense is that suicide is usually the result of deep depression or psychosis (yes, Dr. Deb?). And my observations with my own father is that workplace dissatisfaction can be a trigger, if not the root cause, of depression.

Did his profession's failure to welcome this man cause his death? Hard to say. Did it contribute to it? Undoubtedly.
