Abstract

In India, there is a discernible rise in mental health conditions among students, such as anxiety and depression. Several factors contribute to this mental health scenario among university students, including low stress tolerance and resilience, an overemphasis on academic success, and a lack of involvement in hobbies, sports, or recreational activities. Parental factors may include a focus on high scores and good rankings, imposing subjects or courses that do not align with the student’s interests, and pressuring students to appear for entrance exams for professional courses even when they struggle to pass after prolonged preparation and multiple attempts.
