Autistic- and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-like traits: differential associations with burnout, depression and anxiety, and empathy among Japanese junior residents

INTRODUCTION: Burnout, depression, and anxiety are major concerns among physicians because they affect individual well-being, patient care, and healthcare systems. Neurodevelopmental traits, including autistic-like traits (ALTs) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-like traits (ADHLTs), may increase vulnerability to psychological distress. However, little is known about how these traits relate to burnout, depression and anxiety, and empathy among junior residents.
