Maladaptive daydreaming was discovered to have a significant impact on the population of medical students at the University of Khartoum, with some alarming rates and correlations among medical students having more than one-third of total medical students found to be having MD must surely indicate a much larger and more widespread problem. No significant correlation was found between Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale score and gender, and there was a significant correlation between the MDS score and the academic class of medical students at University of Khartoum. The average Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale score among medical students was found to be 33.6 (sd=22.3). More males were found to be maladaptive daydreamers when compared to female medical students. Resultsģ4.3% of medical students at the University of Khartoum have identified themselves as maladaptive daydreamers.
