Waheed-Ul-Rahman Ahmed,1,* Emily Mills2,* 1College of Medicine and Health, University of Exeter, Exeter, UK; 2Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Brighton, UK *These authors contributed equally to this workWe read the recent article by Kothari et al1 with great interest. We thank the authors for shedding light on an ever-important topic that resonates with medical students such as ourselves, around the world. The rigorous nature of medical education compounds depression and anxiety;2 this is further complicated by the appreciably low uptake of mental health services by students.3 Kothari et al1 outline approaches to tackling mental health barriers among medical students, principally the use of personal academic tutors. In this manuscript, we wish to provide our experience on the efficacy of the proposed strategies and suggest further solutions to tackle the mounting problem of medical students accessing mental health care.View the original paper by Kothari and colleagues
