Abstract

The authors reflect on the issue of medical students who develop serious mental health problems at medical school in Great Britain. They admit that this situation could present complex challenges. They also state that the complexity arises by the stigma associated with mental health problems. However, they emphasize that most students with mental health problems recover and progress with appropriate support.
