As high school students, we may think of university as a period of freedom. Worryingly,
one in four university students will suffer from a mental health issue. Despite raising awareness of mental health issues, Malaysia students have higher levels of mental health problem and lower levels of self-compassion and resilience compared to university students in UK. Mental health at university can impact how we learn and also whether we finish their degrees, making this an important issue.
How university affects our mental health?
The transition from high school to university life brings its own challenges. The heavy workload and difficult classes can add to the stress of university life, compromising a student’s mental health. Furthermore, university students have to manage their changing environment and uncertainty about the future. This additional pressure and can lead to a range of mental health issues.
Another issue is that university students have a limited understanding of mental health issues, as well as a low awareness of mental health services that are available to them. This means that they do not reach out for help when they need to. Therefore, it is important to learn the signs that you may have a mental health issue at university.
Signs and Symptoms of Mental Health Issues at University
Anxiety, depression and stress are some of the most common mental health challenges that university students face. These symptoms may indicate that you may be suffering from a mental health issue:
Unable to concentrate in lectures.
Poor decision-making skills.
Finding it hard to connect with your university classmates or withdrawing from your friends.
Low motivation to attend classes or study.
Losing interest in the things you used to.
Struggling with your academic performance.
Feeling hopeless or helpless about life after university.

I found this ReVeda blog on How to Improve Gut Health really informative and practical.

I found Drive Mad surprisingly addictive because the levels are short and easy to replay. It’s a good choice when you want a quick gaming session without a long commitment.
University mental health is something that affects lots of things like how you do and how you feel about yourself.. People do not think about it very much. I work time at Last-Minute Assignments and I am also doing my PhD. This means I get to talk to students who are having trouble with their school work. I had a time in college too so I want to help other students. What I went through taught me to be patient and understand how others feel. Now I help students when they feel like they have much to do especially with things, like Python Assignment Writing Service. I think it is better to give them advice and help them see things…
