Content: Also, college students are more independent. They don’t have anyone monitoring them to ensure that they complete their work. This creates a need for students to develop their own methods for organizing their lives. If they have trouble setting this foundation, everything that happens to them can feel ambiguous and unclear. This lack of structure can make them feel anxious and out of control. Our Competitive Culture May Impact Mental Health
We live in a culture that places importance on certain elements that are related to success, including wealth, academic achievement and job performance. Some educational programs are only available to students who obtain the highest scores in their fields. This may place an unhealthy demand on competition instead of individual accomplishments, which puts unsustainable academic pressure on college students. Moreover, mental health issues can negatively impact an individual’s academic performance, creating a downward spiral that’s difficult to break. The non-productive behaviors that many college students develop in an attempt to cope with stress can cause further detriment to their mental health.
