Prevalence of anxiety and depression among pharmacy students at a University in South Africa: A cross-sectional survey

Abstract

The high prevalence of anxiety and depression among pharmacy students is a multifaceted issue influenced by socio-demographic, academic, and clinical attributes. Universities are encouraged to establish comprehensive mental health services, which include counselling, stress management workshops, and peer support programs that promote a culture of transparency and support for mental health. Investing in these tools is essential to mitigate the risk factors associated with anxiety and depression, hence enhancing the overall student experience.
