Concerned over the deteriorating mental health of medicos, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has launched a nationwide survey on the mental health of medical students. It aims to tackle increasing instances of depression, ragging, and suicides. The survey is part of the NMC’s exercise to uncover stress factors, issues the students fear the most, and how their workload affects them.
