Counseling Services:
The pressures of medical school can have a major impact on your mental health and wellness. Balancing academics, a transition to a new city, family obligations, relationships, finances, enrichment activities, and uncertainty about the future can lead to depression, anxiety, a decline in physical wellbeing, among many others.
