Medical students dedicate their lives to helping other people feel better, but a new study shows they may not feel well themselves. Researchers in Brazil surveyed nearly 500 medical students on a variety of depression symptoms. They found nearly 40 percent of students reported 10 or more symptoms, like crying, sense of failure and weight loss. They also found having a parent who is a doctor lowered the risk for depression.
