Cover Story: Medical students are a population at an increased risk of developing mental illness. International studies estimate that one in three students suffers from depression, anxiety, or burnout. To gain a better understanding of the situation in Portugal, we conducted the first-ever nation-wide study exploring the mental health of medical students, which led us to three main conclusions: approximately half of the students experience depressive symptoms, about a third experience anxiety symptoms, and belonging to a sexual or ethnic minority is a predictor for the development of psychological distress. These results are concerning and need to be addressed. To support our students, it is crucial to provide them with tools known to prevent distress, such as daily organization techniques and the prioritization of a strong social network. View this paper
