Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals elevated depression, anxiety, and stress in dental and medical practitioners, highlighting greater psychological vulnerability among dentists.

Key Points

  • Dentists experienced notably higher levels of anxiety and stress than medical peers, while depression rates remained consistently elevated across both professions.
  • Over 58% of dentists suffered from anxiety, and reduced sleep under six hours nightly correlated with elevated stress across the surveyed cohort.
  • Cross-sectional survey using the depression anxiety and stress scale highlights substantial psychological strain, calling for tailored institutional support.
