Mental health and lifestyle-related behaviors in medical students in a Jordanian University, and variations by clerkship status.

Background: The rigors of medical education often take a toll on students' mental well-being, resulting in heightened stress, anxiety, depression, somatization, and thoughts of self-harm. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of mental health problems among Jordanian medical students (Yarmouk University), explore the links between mental state and demographic and lifestyle factors, and compare mental health profiles between pre-clinical/pre-clerkship (years 1-3) and clinical/clerkship (years 4-6) students.

Methods: An online survey was distributed to undergraduate medical students at Yarmouk University.
