Surviving the Strains: Mental Health Challenges for Students and Faculty in Higher Education
Abstract
Modern campus stressors affect students' and staff's mental health. Academic stress, hard workloads, financial instability, and competition are major stressors in higher education. Overloaded curriculum, loneliness, and future uncertainty cause anxiety, despair, and burnout among students. Academics face research productivity stresses, tenure-track goals, and combining teaching with personal and professional duties. Recognizing these interrelated pressures is crucial to developing a mental health-friendly academic community. Not thinking about mental health may hurt individuals, institutions, and students. Resilience, mental health awareness, and structural change in academia are suggested in the chapter. These issues may be addressed to improve the academic environment for students and teachers, making the educational system more sustainable.
