Abstract

Students’ life can be stressful and for some, it may cause mental distress. Besides being a major public health challenge, mental distress can influence academic achievements. The main objective of the current study was to examine college students for their mental health and come up with constructive solutions. Today’s younger generation represents the largest group of students. The transition from adolescence into young adulthood involves major changes in several areas- social, emotional, psychological, financial, and relationships. And this transition period can cause rational challenges that some teenagers experience stressful. It has also been mentioned that the proportion of students who experience their student life mentally stressful is increasing and for some, it may be a direct cause for mental illness. The paper focuses on how mental illness can affect one’s intellect and create barriers for their overall development. This paper includes a doctrinal method where we have surveyed 100 university students via a questionnaire. Depression, anxiety, and stress have been shown to be correlated to poor academic performances signifying a self-perpetuating disadvantage of students suffers from these mental health issues. We have also put light on how students can overcome these evils of recent times. Some solutions include awareness programs, healthy discussions with elders, exercising, and yoga for patience and calmness.
