Psychological State of Students of Health Sciences During COVID-19

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
University students report high levels of stress, anxiety and depression every year, which, according to some research, responsible for university administration and popular media, constitutes a global crisis of mental health of students at these levels. Exposure to academic stress directly compromises students' motivation and attitudes towards learning. High levels of perceived distress in the face of inadequate resources to deal with the situation leaves people at risk of developing major psychiatric problems, especially when this distress is prolonged or severe.
