Young medical students have to confront significant amount of
stress throughout their career which affects their physical as well
as mental health. Rate of depression & suicides have been found
to be higher in medical students than in other graduate students.
How a student handle a stressful situation depends on his or her
personality. Type D personality is based on the two stable
personality traits of negative affect & social inhibition.
Persons with Type D personality are at increased risk for
developing depression and other psychiatric disorders. A total of
295 medical students (226 male & 69 female) are included in
this study to determine prevalence of depression & type D
personality among medical students of Midnapore Medical College,
West Bengal to find out whether they have any significant
association or not. Moreover, Perceived Stress Score Index (PSSI)
among study population was carried out to compare it among students
with and without depression.
