Systematic review and meta-analysis of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation among Ph.D. students

Abstract University administrators and mental health clinicians have raised concerns about depression and anxiety among Ph.D. students, yet no study has systematically synthesized the available evidence in this area. After searching the literature for studies reporting on depression, anxiety, and/or...
