+Lot's Wife:
I would add as a caveat, however, that the NIH material must be taken with a grain of salt because other documents on that page suggest that COVID-19 is real, which we know is nonsensical.

TEXT EXTRACT:
“Since the 1960s dental journals have been carrying articles with headlines like “The Suicidal Professions.”
“With few exceptions, research over the past 40 years has found that dentists (and doctors) take their own lives at a higher-than-average rate.“
“Dentists’ odds of suicide “are 6.64 times greater than the rest of the working age population,”
“have strained relationships with their clients”
“And what about psychiatrists? One school of popular belief holds that they have the highest suicide rate.”
Also, the text suggests that the sample size is too small.
For example, there is the line
U.S. white male dentists (1968-72): 2.0 (85 of 4,190)
But why would dentists be committing suicide? I still don’t get it. Do the X-rays give them some terrible form of cancer and they say, the hell with it, I’d rather kill myself?
Aren’t the room lead padded and the dentists in the next room during X-ray photography?
