Insights Into Mental Health Challenges Among University Students: An Overview
Abstract
University students are particularly prone to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, in part due to their transition to emerging adulthood and higher education. Recent studies have established that a considerable number of students go through mild-to-severe episodes of depression, anxiety, and stress during their university years. Despite the exponential increase in interest in this problem, an integrated overview is still lacking. The initial sections of the present review aim to: (i) give an updated view of the state of the art regarding university students' mental health; (ii) present the prevalence and associated consequences of mental health issues, (iii) identify the risk and protectives factors; and (iv) summarize the types of interventions available. The concluding section focuses on making recommendations for the future and proposes new research directions based on the identified literature gaps, namely courses of action, help-seeking behaviours and mental health literacy, and positive mental health.
