National Medical Commission conducted a survey of Medicos and reported many alarming factors regarding the mental health of Medical students. This survey is conducted to find the causes of multiple suicidal attempts by medical students in the recent past.
The survey states that 28% of UG students and 15% of PG students are facing mental disorders like anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. It found that 16% of UG students and 31% of PG students thought about suicide, being unable to face their mental problems.
Here is the link to a news report of the Survey:
I advocate for similar surveys conducted at all educational institutions and the establishment of mental guidance centers at all high schools and colleges.
