Necessity of Mental Health Intervention Among Students

Mental health encompasses emotional, social, and psychological well-being, influencing thoughts, actions, and interactions. Despite its importance, student mental health is often overlooked, particularly in India, where academic success is prioritized over emotional well-being. Globally, one in seven adolescents experiences a mental disorder, with anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders being prevalent. The increasing academic pressure, societal expectations, and limited opportunities contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression among students. These challenges affect academic performance, relationships, and future prospects. Addressing student mental health is crucial to building a healthier society. This study examines common mental health issues, their impact, and strategies for fostering positive mental well-being among students.
