Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: A Study on Medical Students

This report examines the significant levels of stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by medical students. The primary causes discussed include the demanding academic and examination schedules, heavy workloads, and financial burdens, particularly during the initial years of medical studies. Lack of sleep, often a consequence of the rigorous schedule, is identified as a major contributor to stress, leading to potential performance issues and further mental health challenges. The report also touches upon external factors like unemployment and environmental changes, such as relocation for studies, as additional stressors. Furthermore, it highlights the challenges related to patient interactions and limited examination preparation time. The conclusion emphasizes the need for a supportive environment, financial aid, and adequate preparation time to mitigate these stressors, underscoring the responsibility of educators and the surrounding community in promoting medical student well-being. The report references studies that support these findings.
