Abstract
The aim of the study was to report the prevalence of type D personality in two different samples of medical students and one sample of physicians. Elevated prevalence (range from 27.17 % to 35 %) was found suggesting that one third of physicians and/or medical students could be at risk of developing psychiatric disorders like anxiety or mood disorders.
