Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining the prevalence and impact of personality disorders (PDs) among medical students. Conducted by researchers at the University of Airlangga, the study found that medical students experience a higher prevalence of PDs (30.2%) compared to the general population (6.1%), with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder being the most common. The research highlights how these disorders can adversely affect students' emotional well-being, academic performance, and professional development, exacerbated by the stresses of medical education. It emphasizes the need for targeted mental health support, early intervention, and systemic changes in medical education to improve outcomes for affected students. [Extracted from the article]
