Traders face a 2.1× higher suicide risk: how to avoid the worst

Financial losses can deeply affect traders' emotions and well-being. Trading doesn't just wreck your portfolio - it can break you.

In comparison, doctors have a 1.2× higher suicide risk, and policemen 1.3×, than the general population.

To protect yourself:

✅ Don't stare at charts 24/7
✅ Remove PnL from your home screen
✅ Take breaks early, not at the bottom
✅ Walking, exercise, and sleep reduce tilt more than any "discipline"
✅ Remember: most people in the market lose - they just don't post about it

❤️‍🩹 Trading is more stressful than professions like medicine, where doctors often see a psychologist every six months. Traders may need even more frequent mental health support for stability.
