Medical students suffer from increased anxiety and depression. Add Covid isolation to an already difficult situation and these problems are exacerbated. This study assessed the mental health situation of 1,428 students from 40 U.S. medical schools. The results suggest that we should be especially vigilant in recognizing and offering help to students that require extra emotional support.
