To address concerns about depression and suicide among medical students, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has formed a national task group to investigate the variables leading to these issues and offer evidence-based measures for promoting mental health.
Dr. B M Suresh, Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), serves as chairman of the task group of 15 members.
"Mental health of medical students has been a cause of concern in the recent past leading to depression and suicide by medical students. To address this issue, a National Task Force has been constituted by the anti-ragging committee of the National Medical Commission (NMC)," an office order issued on February 21 said.
According to the terms and references, the task force will review current literature and data on medical students' mental health and suicide rates, identify variables contributing to these issues, and offer evidence-based measures for enhancing mental health and suicide prevention.
The committee will also visit colleges where suicides have been reported.
The task committee must deliver a detailed report describing significant findings and concrete recommendations for improving medical students' mental health by May 31, 2024. It will also send a monthly progress report to the anti-ragging cell.
The task force shall hold regular meetings, either remotely or in person, as needed to carry out its mandate. Additionally, the committees may visit medical colleges where suicides have been reported.
