Retirement is a time of life marked by many social prejudices. However, links of retirement to depression do not have any scientific evidence. Retired physicians do not suffer more psychiatric disorders than those who continue working. ⋯ Most research that has studied the quality of life of retired physicians agrees that most doctors are satisfied with their new condition. Similarly, retired doctors who said they were dissatisfied with their new situation, this was not because they had left the profession, but because they were in poor health or had no family or economic stability. The present study aims at providing an overview of occupational retirement from the individual and ontological point of view.
