were married; 60.3% were male. 41% of the total general practitioners had mental health
problems. The mean score of GHQ was 22.56±9.24. There were significant relationships
between mental health and each age, employment situation, and number of children
(p<0.05). Older physicians had better mental health than the younger ones. There were
significant relationships between employment situation and anxiety (p=0.017) and
