Abstract

Stress and anxiety are significant mental health challenges faced by students at various educational levels, impacting their academic performance, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. This paper examines the causes and consequences of stress and anxiety in students, with a focus on academic pressures, social expectations, and personal struggles. The research investigates how factors such as workload, deadlines, exams, and the transition to higher education contribute to heightened stress and anxiety levels. Additionally, it explores the physiological, emotional, and cognitive effects of these conditions on students' mental health. The paper also reviews the role of coping strategies, including time management, social support, and mindfulness practices, in mitigating the negative impact of stress and anxiety. Various interventions, such as counseling services, peer support networks, and school-based mental health programs, are discussed as effective means of addressing these issues. The findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive environment within educational institutions to promote mental well-being and help students manage stress and anxiety effectively. This research aims to provide insights for educators, parents, and mental health professionals to better understand and support students facing these challenges. This paper aims to investigate the multidimensional nature of stress and anxiety among students using different factors. The study identifies underlying factors contributing to students' stress and anxiety, such as academic pressures, social influences, and personal life challenges. By understanding the key components that contribute to students' mental health, this research provides valuable insights into the development of targeted interventions to reduce stress and anxiety in academic settings.
