[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Permanent research on mental disorders among medical students and critical ref lection by medical schools regarding their role in the promotion and prevention of these disorders will help train physicians to be healthier and emotionally better prepared to help diminish the health problems of the people they assist. Thus, our study aims to estimate the prevalence of CMD, associated factors, their changes and movements over the course of six years of the medical undergraduate course among students of a class at a public university in northeastern Brazil.…”

Alguns autores demonstram uma intensificação das queixas quanto a carga horária excessiva, falta de tempo para estudar e privação da vida social neste período 20 .…”

A provável existência de diferentes agentes estressores ao longo do curso de Medicina, que podem levar ao desenvolvimento de sintomas depressivos -como perda da liberdade pessoal, alto nível de exigência e de conteúdo, sentimento de desumanização, falta de tempo para o lazer, forte competição entre os colegas e o próprio contato com pacientes, com a dor e a doença -, parece depender do período e da série em que o aluno se encontra 11,12,15,16 . Por isso, procurou-se estudar os fatores de risco relacionados com a depressão entre estudantes de Medicina.…”
