HealthDay (11/16, Norton) reports, “Medical training may be taking less of a mental health toll on young” physicians “than it used to, but depression remains common,” researchers concluded in a study that “tracked nearly 17,000 U.S. interns (first-year residents) who entered residency programs between 2007 and 2019.” The study revealed that “overall, interns in 2019 did show an increase in depression symptoms during that first year of training, but it was about one-quarter less, compared to their counterparts in 2007.” The findingswere published online Nov. 16 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
