“…Minimal depression was seen in only four studies, [20,24,28,31] with a pooled prevalence of 28.0% (95% CI: 20.0 to 37.0) whereas mild depression was found in six studies, [24,[27][28][29][30]34] with pooled prevalence of 14.0% (95% CI: 4.0 to 28.0). The pooled prevalence of thirteen studies that have found moderate depression was found to be 15.0% (95% CI: 11.0 to 19.0) [20,21,24,25,[27][28][29][30][31][33][34][35]37].

Background: Systematic reviews have proved that there is a high rate of depression among medical students when compared with their age-matched peers. Very few studies have evaluated the pooled prevalence of depression among medical students in India.Objectives: To determine the pooled prevalence of depression among medical students in India.Materials and methods: This review was done by searching databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus for available original articles published between 2019 and 2022 on depression among Indian medical (MBBS) undergraduate students using PRISMA guidelines.Results: A total of 19 original research articles were included in this review, involving students at different medical colleges from various regions of India. The pooled prevalence of depression among 5944 medical students was 50.0% (95% CI: (31%-70%)) based on the random effect model. This meta-analysis also found that the pooled prevalence of depression among females (pooled prevalence: 38.0%, 95% CI: 20.0 to 58.0) was slightly higher than among males (pooled prevalence: 34.0%, 95% CI: 15.0 to 55.0). Conclusion:The high prevalence of depression among medical students demands regular screening for depression along with counselling services. It shows that there is a need to raise awareness among students and other stakeholders, such as parents and medical educators, concerning symptoms and signs of depression among medical students.

In most economically developed countries of the world, there is a clear tendency to increase the number of patients with anxiety-depressive disorders comorbid with eating disorders (ED), which lead to psychosocial maladjustment and a decrease in the quality of life. Depression is found in almost everyone and anxiety symptoms in every second patient among ED patients. Two-thirds of people suffering from anorexia had symptoms of anxiety-depressive disorders several years before the onset of ED. The purpose of the study was a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of treatment of eating disorders in patients with anxiety-depressive disorders, depending on the therapeutic and corrective measures. As a result of the study, it was established that there was no statistically significant difference between the main and the comparison group according to age and BMI. Statistically significant differences between the two groups were found for all other indicators. According to the results of the examination of the patients of the main group, a statistically significant difference was established between all indicators after 6 months. Among the patients of the comparison group, statistically significant positive dynamics were observed only in the indicators of the level of depression, personal and situational anxiety, and quality of life. According to the results of the correlation analysis of the main group, the indicator of the body image questionnaire had the largest number of direct correlations. After the intervention, some of the connections were lost and their strength generally decreased. Indicators of situational and personal anxiety, PHQ-9, indicators of restrained and emotional eating behavior had the largest number of direct connections. According to the obtained results, it is possible to ascertain the significant impact of the combined approach in the correction of ED in anxiety-depressive disorders. The obtained data indicate the effectiveness of the combined approach in view of the better results of therapy in all indicators in the main group. Correlation analysis showed a decrease in the strength of ties in the main group and their number after the intervention. In the treatment of anxiety-depressive disorders, the expediency of using a complex approach and the importance of paying special attention to the correction of symptoms of eating disorders have been proven.

Body image dissatisfaction might be an important predictor of increased incidence of eating disorder. This study aimed to assess the risk of eating disorder and body shape concern among undergraduate students at selected nursing colleges, Morang. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted among 288 undergraduate nursing students selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data was collected through self-administered method using EAT-26 and BSQ-34 standard tool. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 16 software. Results: Among 288 nursing students, majority (83%) of them had no risk while (17%) had risk of eating disorder. Similarly, majority (62.2%) of them had no concern with body shape, (19.8%) had mild concern, (12.2%) had moderate concern and (5.9%) had marked concern. There is a statistically significant association between the risk level and selected socio demographic variables like religion (P= 0.01*), weight (P=0.009*), BMI (P= 0.001*). Conclusions: Majority of the students had no risk while very few students had risk of eating disorder. Almost half of the nursing students had mild to marked concern about body shape which can entice eating disorder.
