Mental health is an integral part of health, indeed there is no health without mental health. Mental health is a state of well being in which an individual realizes his/her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his/her community.
Mental health is very much important for medical students. depression is one of the most commonly diagnosed mental disorders among medical students. The prevalence of depression or depressive symptoms in medical students is around 27.2% internationally, with suicidal ideation in approximately 11.1%. The prevalence of anxiety is much higher, 33.8%, most prevalent among medical students from the Middle East and Asia. Furthermore, medical students have a significantly higher prevalence of anxiety-related symptoms compared with other non-medical students. Most worryingly two out of three medical students with generalised anxiety symptoms and one in two with depressive symptoms do not seek medical or psychological care. Since Mindfulness-based interventions decrease stress, anxiety, and depression and improve mindfulness, mood, self-efficacy, and empathy in health care students, SCOPH-BMSS in collaboration with Moshal Mental Health bring you one of a kind mental health development initiative “Nurturing Minds” marked from 12 October to 22 October consisting both offline and online segment.
