Mental health and wellness concerns for veterinary medicine professionals are at the forefront of a growing body of research that indicates the inherent stressors of the profession can lead to anxiety and / or depression and burnout for some. These stressors can begin impacting students even before they earn their veterinary medicine degrees.

Both anxiety and depression raise the risk of su***de. The su***de rate among veterinarians is four times higher than the general population, according to a study published in The Canadian Veterinary Journal.

Furthermore, according to Dr. Pauline Prince, staff psychologist at the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, one in six veterinarians have considered su***de, and one in three have clinically significant anxiety and / or depression. Less than one-third of them will seek help despite knowing they need it.

The challenges facing veterinarians are documented in the film series “On the Farm.”

Produced by the University Television Center at MSU, the four-part film series highlights the industry and personal challenges of agricultural workers. The series is a partnership between the MSU Extension Service and the MSU College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, with funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The second season of “On the Farm” airs on Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s TV channel July 1 at 9 p.m., July 5 at 7:30 p.m. and July 7 at 4:30 p.m. Each of the four stories will air in full as a single, one-hour episode.

The films also spotlight resources and organizations that can assist agricultural workers in crisis and feature specialists from MSU in agricultural economics, family science and clinical psychology. These specialists connect the lived experiences of the farmers to scientific literature on rural and agricultural lifestyles.

TCVM FOOD THERAPY: Apples are a common snack given to horses. From a TCVM perspective apples are sweet to sour and neutral. They help tonify Yin, promote digestion, moisten lungs and move Liver Qi Stagnation (green apple). Wood personality horses, such as Dr. Browns horse Wyatt, are prediposed to Liver Qi Stagnation. Its best to feed green apples to Wood horses vs red. Avoid the core and seeds. Take the Five Element Constitution Personality quiz for your horse on Dr. Browns website in the education tab. Link in bio.

TCVM FOOD THERAPY: Carrots are a common snack given to horses. From a TCVM perspective, carrots are sweet and neutral. They enter the Spleen, Liver and Lung meridians. Carrots help tonify Liver Blood, soothe Liver Qi, promote digestion, and more. Use as treats in limited amounts due to sugar content. Avoid in cases of EMS/PPID.

How do horses become at risk in the first place?

The average horse will have 7 owners in their lives. Every single horse is only one unfortunate incident or one unfortunate decision away from being vulnerable and at risk for neglect, abandonment, abuse and even winding up in the slaughter pipeline. Even an owner passing away without previous preparations for the protection of their animals in their estate planning places a horse — and any animals owned by this person — at risk.

Both of the horses in this photo are retired Thoroughbreds, living their best lives at a Kentucky sanctuary. Why? Because their owners cared enough to secure their future welfare. The horse on the left was owned by a woman who suddenly passed away of cancer, but she left behind enough resources and named a trusted caretaker of her animals in case of her death, long before she passed. We urge you to be a and ensure the future of your horses — and all animals, so that they will always be safe and well cared for.
