“…Female students may experience higher stress levels than male students within both undergraduate (Eisenberg et al, 2013;Hyun et al, 2006;Misra et al, 2000) and professional school/graduate populations (Eisenberg et al, 2013;Evans et al, 2018;Toews et al, 1993;Toews et al, 1997). This discrepancy may be due to greater exposure to sexual assault and domestic violence (Fond et al, 2018) and/or higher levels of depression and anxiety (Gitay et al, 2019) among women. Some findings suggest that graduate students experience a greater frequency of mental health issues relative to the general student population (Evans et al, 2018;Toews et al, 1993) due to pressure to gather and publish data, teach courses, pass their candidacy exams, organize fieldwork, coordinate collaborations, and mentor other students (Wedemeyer-Strombel, 2018).…”
