Abstract

Matriculating medical students have a low degree of psychological distress. Yet, over time burnout, suicidal ideation, and evidence of depression become quite prevalent among medical students. Often, approximately 50% of the students and sometimes more suffer from burnout. The prevalence of depression in different studies varied but was often approximately 20%. Suicidal ideation in medical students in various articles had a prevalence of approximately 6% to 11%.
