Stress associated with medical education, corre- lated with symptoms of depression and anxiety, has been involved in generating academic performance problems and thus, long-term consequences, such as poor quality of medical care. If anxiety and depression are proved to influence quality of academic achieve- ment, their prevention could lead to better outcomes also in the quality of medical care.

Aims: This study aims to measure the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among undergraduate medical students in Sudan.

Methadology: We recruited 201 undergraduate medical students in this study between May 2025 to September 2025, A cross sectional survey, a self-administered, pre-designed, pre-tested anonymous questionnaire (written by English and translated by Arabic) was distributed after obtaining an informed written consent for each participant. Information was collected on basic socio-demographic (like age, gender), and mental health (DASS-21 - Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) + Pittsburgh sleep quality index (psQI).

Results: A survey of 202 individuals, focusing on demographics, mental health, and potential correlations between them. A significant majority (79%) of respondents fall within the 21-25 age range, suggesting the survey primarily targets young adults.
