Abstract

The mental health of a group of 523 medical freshmen (97% of the respective population) was assessed 1 month after enrollment. Students with psychiatric impairment (84 or 16.1%) were compared with those assessed to be mentally healthy in respect of a number of variables. Cluster, correlation, and principal component analyses revealed that psychiatric disorders were related to the result of the screening test, in a lesser degree to the test anxiety, and not at all to any of the other tested variables (separation from parents, family completeness, education of parents, number of siblings, number of employees in the family, grade point average in high school, and smoking).
