There is a great quote by Suzy Kassem, she says, " Doubt Kills More Dreams Than Failure Ever Will". It does seem to be accurate in our field too, where we go through hell lot of exams before we start earning. Many of us do feel the anxieties related to the exams. And these exams determine many things including our future. The anxieties related to exams do have a significant impact on our mental health creating chaos in day to day life. Many of us do feel the enormous pressure before Exams specially before the viva. Some of us couldn't bear the pressure & end up in severe negative consequences like medical suicide. When we clear these competitive exams, we do get into the medical residency, but the story doesn't end here. It's not the happy ending, actually it's the real beginning of our life in Medicine. Heavy workload does help a lot in creating the work performance anxiety. Stress in the residency does seem to be a tradition, passing from generation to generation. These alarming situation demand for a major change in the work culture during medical residency.  This podcast is purely dedicated to all the students like me who are preparing for any competitive exam, also to those who are in their Medical Residency. Both are in different battlefields fighting for their existence.  Do listen to our special guest Dr Divya Devulapally (Consultant Psychiatrist) who shares her tips on reducing the exam stress & work performance anxiety in this episode. I hope I'll be able to add a perspective through this & this podcast would be helpful to those in need.  Thank You All The Best!  Keep Calm: It's Just An Exam! Keep Listening The Khoj Podcast.
