Students in the medical field have an environment full of stress. Medical students are subjected to dealing with problems that produce lots of mental distress due to the surrounding environment, dealing with patients\u2019 deaths, issues related to different ethical backgrounds, and witnessing death and human agony.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, we evaluated various risk factors that can cause suicidal thoughts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross sectional study was conducted on medical students of a medical college in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
