Abstract

Depression and anxiety symptoms are often observed among students in the health care area, particularly in medical course. The presence of these symptoms can lead to an impact on the development of the medical student’s career, falling to perform in the course, increased risk of abandonment / discontinuance of the course and increased risk of suicide. This review aims to address these issues and discuss possible approaches.
