Prevalence and correlates of depression, anxiety, and stress in medical residents of a Brazilian academic health system

Mental health symptoms prevalence in this study is similar to other studies and their occurrence is positively correlated with Burnout Syndrome among medical residents/fellow physicians of the largest Brazilian academic health system. These results are relevant and must be confirmed by multicentric longitudinal studies. This study reinforces the importance of debating interventions to improve mental health among doctors in training.
