The Abstraction Mental health problems are becoming more and more prevalent
among college students, which has an impact on both their general health and academic
performance. This study addresses significant issues that impact students' mental
health, including access to services, technological treatment, and peer support groups.
This study believes that a multidisciplinary program that is student-focused is essential,
based on previous research and an analysis of current university mental illness
programs. Evidence suggests that integrating technology-based therapy, teaching, and
making sure it is as accessible as possible can greatly improve students' mental health
outcomes. All things considered, some of the most successful and long-lasting mental
health techniques are those that are widely used in colleges.
