Study Shows that Medical Students More Likely to Hide Their Depression

In a new study released by the American Medical Association, done by a Michigan researcher, that surveyed medical students at seven medical schools, med school students are more likely to think that being depressed is a bad thing, and are less likely to seek help for it. Partially this could be due to the stigma of depression, but partly it is due to the fear that they will be seen as less competent by their teachers.
