The main psychological problems of medical postgraduates are anxiety and depression. The main psychological stress is as follows: (1) academic work; (2) employment; (3) interpersonal relationship; (4) emotional distress. Conclusion: the postgraduate training programs of medical universities should pay more attention to the mental health status of postgraduates, and take reasonable measures to timely and effectively carry out early warning, intervention and treatment of postgraduates’ psychological problems.
