Perceived parentaln attitude in social phobia patient

Abstract EN

High levels of depression in medical students have been reported in several studies and have been attributed to the stresses of medical education and training.

In order to compare the severity of depression and to detect its prevalence among medical students and other students, we administered the General Health Questionnaire to 50 Medical Students and to 50 arts Students from different academic levels and age groups.

Arts students reported significantly more depression and physical symptoms related mostly to the daily studying time (D.S.T.) and academic level than medical students.

Grade had nothing to do to the mood of the university students.

Accordingly, depression may be lower in medical students than other graduate students.
