In a BMJ letter "Mental health of applicants seems to be deteriorating", BMJ 2007;334:1335 (30 June 2007), The Royal College of Psychiatrists reported the preliminary findings of an online survey about the imapct of MMC and MTAS on junior doctors' mental health.
The results showed that there were 790 anonymous responses that indicated increased level of stress and disturbances, most attributing it to MMC/MTAS. The authors said that this requires an urgent response.
A SHO said he doubted the validity of the survey and that doctors and other professionals need resilience and MTAS has reflected that.
