Abstract

The present study investigated the impact of graduate and postgraduate studies on the mental health status of Brazilian academics. The Propensity Score Matching methodology was applied to information from the Brazilian National Health Survey and the diagnosis of clinical depression was used as proxy for the mental health state of the observations. Results confirm the derogatory and statistically relevant effect of graduate and postgraduate studies on the mental health status of individuals in the sample analyzed, especially on men. These findings reflect the need for preventive measures and encouragement of the debate on mental health within the academic environment.
