In pursuit of the objective of identifying the structural-clinical characteristics of neurotic, stress-related, affective and personality disorders in medical and engineering students, this original study examined 286 students of a Medical University and 91 students of a Technical one. We have obtained new data on the structure and the psychopathological characteristics of the mental disorders of this level in students with different majors. We have identified certain differences of quantitative and qualitative nature, with the predominance of greater severity of neurotic and depressive disorders in medical students. The authors link these differences to the academic peculiarities and greater psycho-emotional burden faced by the medical students.
