This article reviews the risk factors associated with stress, anxiety, and depression among medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Abundant literatures were found related to this topic, but only a few important and informative research articles were included in this review. This review provides a bigger picture of the current psychological condition among Indonesian medical students. Medical students in Indonesia had varying levels of stress, anxiety, and depression with various associated academic and non-academic risk factors.
