Summary: This study aimed to compare symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress among medical students, medical residents, and physicians. The results showed that medical students had significantly higher scores in depression, anxiety, and stress compared to residents and established physicians. There were no significant differences in DASS 21 scores between residents and established physicians. Factors associated with mental health differed among the groups, with marriage and male gender being associated with better mental health among physicians and residents, while male gender, later years of the course, and lower religious attendance were associated with better mental health among students.

Summary: Medical trainees and physicians often face mental health issues, but the stigma surrounding mental health often prevents them from seeking help. Invasive health history questions on licensing applications may worsen stigma and discourage seeking help. This study reviews changes to health history questions and recommends that state medical boards modify licensing applications to reduce stigma and encourage help-seeking.

Summary: The objective of this study was to explore the prevalence of intense loneliness among medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty physicians at a large US academic medical center, and its relationship with other negative mental health states. The results showed that 20% of the respondents endorsed intense loneliness frequently or most of the time. Younger age, being female, non-White race, burnout, depression, other negative affective states, and suicidal ideation were associated with a greater likelihood of endorsing intense loneliness. Interventions to mitigate loneliness may help reduce burnout, depression, and other suicide risk factors among healthcare trainees and professionals.
