Research results: The depression of MS was found to be more prevalent during the preclinical part of study (1-3 grade) than in the clinical part (4-6 grade). Thus, MS depression prevalence in our literature review shows values of 26.3%. The worldwide MS depression prevalence values are similar to those found in our study. Female MS had higher levels of depression than male MS. Suicidal ideation is the most common outcome of depression amongst medical students due to the difficulties that the students experience. There are several factors affecting medical students' depression such as gender, financial burden, lack of physical activity, lack of sleep and academic performance.
