Overwork, more often than not, is what breaks the camel's back, as a 20-year-old resident doctor with Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College is finding out.

"We don't get time to sleep or eat, which not only weakens our immune system, but also leads to anxiety and depression. I am on medication for over a month now, and I am not alone; others are going through the same, but there is no one to hear our woes," said the third-year MBBS student.
