Abstract

Stress among medical postgraduates in India has reached alarming levels, with significant implications for individual well-being and the healthcare system. This review aims to explore the multifaceted nature of stress among Indian medical postgraduates, encompassing factors such as increasing suicide rates among doctors, senior toxicity, loss of quality doctors, and its role in doctor migration. Through an analysis of recent articles from reputable journals, this review examines the prevalence, causes, manifestations, and consequences of stress in this population, alongside strategies for mitigation and intervention.
