Abstract:
Mental illness is the leading non-communicable disorder in terms of burden measured in disability-adjusted
life years in Ethiopia. One of the issues commonly raised is that the society thinks medical students are
invincible. Medical students are one major striata among the vulnerable group. Adequate studies have not
been done in this area (Jigjiga, Ethiopia) regarding the magnitude of Common Mental Disorders and
associated factors that are linked with Common Mental Disorders.
