Abstract in brief

Medical students worldwide experience depression at a rate of about 28%, with the highest rates among first-year students, but overall there isn't a significant difference in depression levels between medical and non-medical students.
Depression prevalence is slightly higher among female, postgraduate, Middle Eastern students, and those in their first year of medical school, but these differences are not statistically significant.
Despite the high prevalence of depression and suicidal thoughts among medical students, only a small proportion (around 13%) seek treatment for their mental health issues.
