The DOH claimed that it is not impossible for students to encounter physical and

mental health challenges when they adapt to the transition from conventional to online learning.

"With online classes, there could be increasing feelings of

isolation due to lack of face-to-face interaction. Students may experience health concerns related to increased screen time, such as fatigue, headache, lack of motivation,
avoidance/procrastination, among others,"
the DOH said.

According to an article in Suicide Prevention Resource Center,
"Mental health issues can affect the level of energy, attention, reliability, mental capacity, and optimism of a student that hinders success. Research indicates that depression is associated with lower grade point averages, and that co-occurring depression and anxiety can increase this association."

We students and other students as well feel that the interests of the student community have been neglected during this global pandemic. Every aspect of our society is struggling, but within the last several months the public has taken the required actions to preserve the current situation of our country’s health and economy. Nevertheless, there are also problems that have emerged as a result of this catastrophe that directly impact the students’ wellbeing and  also affected the students’ opportunity to complete their school year at ease.

Here is a list of the factors that greatly affects a student's mental health:

A Gradual Increase of Mental Health Issues

Numerous learners have said that they are no longer functioning emotionally and are struggling to find emotional clarity in the social turmoil, which is why they are having trouble handling all their schoolwork. Students are continuously in emotional pain and there are a minority of students as well who have felt the feelings of being suicidal since they cannot deal with the increased burden that current events have created.

We students have a growing concern that some of us may not be able to comply with the requirements due to the  unavoidable and unfortunate circumstances that are beyond our control. With the unstable internet connections, there are some who are not able to attend the synchronous meetings and exams immediately.  Since some have trouble attending classes, they have developed constant  anxious thoughts, contemplating if they would pass or not. Because of these arising concerns,  students will require a constant reassurance and understanding from the school.

Alternative ways of

instruction are insufficient

A large number of students have confirmed that the method of online teaching is not an acceptable option.  A lot of students expressed how they think that what they learn and get from the online teaching is incredibly limited relative to what they may potentially learn from the traditional face-to-face lectures. These students feel extremely disadvantaged when they essentially have to learn the lessons themselves which is truly challenging to learn and comprehend. With this, we students hope that our workload would not be as heavy as we are all in a position of disadvantage. There are some that will be resilient, however, this might be detrimental to their mental health.

The constant chaos and crisis, and how it affects the students' studies

Many find the sudden shifts out of their control, when they experience social turmoil, pandemic worries, and are now faced with significant social constraints as well. Anything around them is gradually going into a complete pause, in the meantime, students have been left to find a way to cope with these situations that, internationally, no organization is coping with properly, nor has it been trained or has the capability to sustain.

And yet somehow in the middle of all this chaos, students are always expected to comply with their academic responsibilities. This is a great struggle for students in terms of digesting knowledge and, it is detrimental to a student’s well being as well. The presumption that students will proceed as usual and reach deadlines is entirely unfounded.

With all of these, a student's mental health must be the utmost importance of the school rather than meeting the quota,  and, solely just attempting to comply with all of the activities in the school year. For quality education,  there must be student care first.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a student is stressful, but trying to juggle school work and other responsibilities while experiencing mental illness can make it even harder. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), approximately one in five youth aged 13–18 live with mental health conditions and approximately 75 percent of people with mental health issues develop them prior to the age of 24. Mental health conditions can feel debilitating and scary, making some learners retreat inward rather than seek help. Students, parents, and educators looking for information can find many resources in this guide to help them live their best lives.

Many students feel fear when first recognizing a mental health issue within themselves, as they might not be able to figure out where it came from. Students who previously felt nervous during public speaking but suddenly experience overwhelming panic understandably struggle to figure out what changed. Factors such as significant life changes, politics, family, academic pressure, relationship issues, and money can all contribute to changes in mental health.

Increasing Awareness:
- Mental illness in suicide.
- School drop outs.
- Juvenile justice.
- Stress and Anxiety.
- Depression.

1. Mental Health Awareness!

- colors will be assigned  to a specific feeling or mood so we may give light and support to how important being aware of your health is. (students will be asked to wear a shirt for the day with one of the colors in the example below)

# data[].attributes.body
2. Hearing out the voices of each student

In this activity an online-based open forum will be opened to hear out all the concerns and problems of students in terms of their mental health and academics. This online open-forum will be anonymous, meaning, anyone may post without anybody knowing their identity so that there would be no fear in sharing his/her thoughts and insights. The purpose of this activity is to be able to know the students' genuine feelings and concerns so that schools and officials may adjust accordingly and, may create a compromise as well.

THINGS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL TO THE MENTAL-WELLBEING OF STUDENTS

THINGS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL TO THE MENTAL-WELLBEING OF STUDENTS 

# data[].attributes.body
1. The students may be encouraged to speak out their feelings more to alleviate their emotional burden.

2. There should be a time allotted for students to balance both their academic and personal life. Students may have a day or specific time of the day wherein they will only rest, nourish their body and do other physical activities.

3. Other than merely conducting mental health seminars, a solid solution must be made. Decreasing workload per week would be greatly beneficial to students as the pressure is decreased as well.

4. Including breaks away from screen time would be good as well  in order to decrease feeling of anxiety and prevent burn-out.

5. Students may be encouraged to practice self-care, self-compassion and, self-awareness of their feelings and thoughts. Although parents and the school may help students, students should be taught to acknowledge their own feelings and wellbeing to be able to support themselves

Mental health problems can affect many areas of students' lives, reducing their quality of life, academic achievement, physical health, and satisfaction with the college experience, and negatively impacting relationships with friends and family members. These issues can also have long-term consequences for students, affecting their future employment, earning potential, and overall health. ¹

Consequences for the Student

Mental health problems can affect a student's energy level, concentration, dependability, mental ability, and optimism, hindering performance. 2 Research suggests that depression is associated with lower grade point averages, and that co-occurring depression and anxiety can increase this association. ² Depression has also been linked to dropping out of school. ²

Many college students report that mental health difficulties interfere with their studies. On the American College Health Association 2015 survey, college students identified the following mental health issues as negatively impacting their academic performance within the last 12 months: ³

Stress (30% of students)

Anxiety (22%)

Sleep difficulties (20%)

Depression (14%)

Consequences for Others

Peers, family members, faculty, and staff may be personally affected out of concern for these students.

Depression and anxiety can have harmful effects on relationships and work productivity.

Suicide and suicidal thoughts can affect the larger campus community.

Roommates, peers, faculty, and staff also experience profound grief over student suicides and suicidal behavior.

Consequences for Campuses

Campuses feel the burden when students with mental health difficulties do poorly on course work and drop out of school.

Colleges and universities must be prepared to address the psychological impact of suicides on other students, as well as on teachers and staff.⁴

Poor student retention can mean losses in tuition, fees, and alumni donations.

Consequences for Communities and the Larger Society

The community is negatively affected when students are unable to finish their degrees and contribute valuable skills in a competitive job market.

One study found that five percent of students do not finish their education due to psychiatric disorders and estimated that 4.29 million people would have graduated from college had they not been experiencing such disorders.⁵

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255), available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are confidential, and anyone can use this service. For more information, visit SuicidePreventionLifeline.org.
Attending college comes with extra challenges that can impact mental health. Meeting deadlines, managing budgets, and planning for the future may trigger feelings of anxiety or depression. It may also lead to alcohol dependence.

Rather than self-medicating through substance abuse, students experiencing mental health issues should seek extra support during college. Therapy, support groups, and medications can make a big impact on quality of life.

This guide features resources to manage student mental health. Read on to learn common types of mental health challenges and how to seek help for each.

Understanding Student Mental Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted students' mental health. Due to the stigma around mental health, some students may feel less inclined to openly share about their struggles. Despite how it may seem, many students experience mental health issues.

A survey by the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors shows college student mental health has been a growing concern since 2013. The survey found 95% of college counseling center directors believed the number of students with significant psychological problems was an increasing campus issue.

The directors also reported that 21% of students who visit the campus counseling center presented severe mental health concerns. At the same time, 40% of students presented mild health concerns.

More recent data published in 2021 echoes the same sentiment on mental health for students. The University of Florida's mental health clinic saw a 106% increase of adult patients attending their first appointment in August between 2019 and 2020. The amount increased by another 4% in 2021.

Stress and Anxiety

Symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder may become magnified during high-stress seasons of life. In fact, people are most at risk between childhood and middle age.

Everyone experiences this condition differently. Stress and anxiety may manifest as procrastination, insomnia, worry, and inability to focus. These two conditions may also cause physical symptoms like shortness of breath, headaches, upset stomach, or increased heartbeat.

Some studies show a correlation between stress and healthy hormone levels. People with menstrual cycles may experience irregularities in the length between cycles. Acne levels can also increase.

Where to Get Help

Students can manage their stress and anxiety in many ways. First, they can seek help from a licensed therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist. The Anxiety & Depression Association of America publishes a therapist directory of providers who specialize in this condition.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also offers coping ideas. Many of the recommendations, including meditating and eating nutritiously, benefit general health. Spending time with friends and connecting with nature may also ease symptoms. Students may also explore online support groups.

Depression

Depression ranges from extended periods of mild sadness to prolonged feelings of intense hopelessness. Some students experience depression and anxiety at once. Depression can make people feel lethargic, unmotivated, and uninterested in things they once loved. Some people may have trouble sleeping, while others may sleep too much.

Certain life experiences may trigger depression, which some professionals call situational depression. This may occur after earning a series of bad grades, losing a job, losing a loved one, or undergoing a traumatic experience. Fortunately, medication can work as a temporary or long-term aid for both situational and ongoing depression.

No matter how depression manifests, students should seek help and support from their community and professionals.

Where to Get Help

People experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm should immediately contact the Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This organization offers free 24/7 phone and chat assistance. Caller information stays confidential.

Students can join an online support group to manage day-to-day symptoms. People who need assistance from medication should talk to a doctor. The American Psychological Association (APA) publishes a list of licensed care providers.

Drug Abuse and Alcoholism

Some students turn to drugs or alcohol to numb feelings of anxiety or depression. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism surveyed college students and found that 33% of college students surveyed say they engaged in binge drinking in the past month. Binge drinking can cause permanent changes in brain chemistry and physical health.

Students should not let feelings of shame surrounding drug abuse and alcoholism prevent them from seeking help. Genetics make some people prone to addiction. With professional help and community support, sobriety is possible.

Where to Get Help

Alcoholics Anonymous is a popular support group with meetings all across America. Students who want more one-on-one or immediate assistance can contact an alcohol and drug rehab hotline.

If talking to someone in person or over the phone seems intimidating, online resources may help. WebMD publishes a directory of types of substance abuse and informative articles about rehab. American Addiction Centers make it easy to locate the nearest rehabilitation center.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Some people may view ADHD as more of a childhood disorder. However, some people go undiagnosed until adulthood. Researchers believe the condition may manifest between the ages of 10-25 as late-onset ADHD.

ADHD symptoms may appear as hyperactivity, procrastination, an inability to focus, and impulsive behavior. Students who notice a decline in quality of work and grades despite their best efforts should consider pursuing a possible ADHD diagnosis.

Where to Get Help

Students can begin by consulting with a general care practitioner. Primary care physicians may prescribe medicine or make recommendations for lifestyle changes. Or, they may refer the patient to a mental health specialist.

Some students with ADHD find success in completing schoolwork using the body doubling technique. Body doubling occurs when two or more people work on similar independent tasks alongside one another. This may look like a study session with a friend. Additionally, some organizations offer support groups and online resources.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders impact people regardless of their gender. Students dealing with body image issues or feeling a lack of control in their life may develop an eating disorder. Common types of eating disorders include anorexia and bulimia. Students coping with an eating disorder often skip meals, but they may binge eat after a long period of hunger. These people may feel a sense of guilt when eating foods they deem unhealthy and regurgitate soon after eating.

Orthorexia is a less commonly talked about type of eating disorder. People experiencing orthorexia have an obsession with eating healthy. They excessively avoid many types of foods and check nutrition labels frequently.

Where to Get Help

People managing eating disorders may find accountability and solidarity through an online support group. The National Eating Disorders Association also runs a helpline.

Unfollowing triggering accounts on social media, like fitness influencers or models may benefit some people. Students with a history of disordered eating may need to avoid using calorie-counting apps, which could trigger a relapse.

In some cases, attending rehab can help people achieve a healthy weight and mindset.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

People with OCD experience recurrent and uncontrollable thoughts, also known as obsessions. Some people describe these as urges or as seeing disturbing mental images. These thoughts may lead to repeated actions, also known as compulsions.

OCD manifests in different ways. Some people with the disorder may have a fear of germs or an obsession with order and symmetry. Others may experience uncontrollable thoughts about harming others or unwanted thoughts about sex.

Where to Get Help

A licensed psychiatrist may prescribe medication or offer management techniques for patients with OCD. Engaging in talk therapy with a counselor may also help. These professionals can also offer ideas on managing impulses, especially if the action is physically harmful.

Some people may find it easier to communicate about sensitive topics in the privacy of their homes. The International OCD Foundation offers a list of teletherapy providers. Joining an online support group allows people to share management techniques with their peers.

School Resources

Many colleges and universities may offer special accommodations for learners with OCD. For example, if a type of assignment triggers a compulsion, a student may substitute it with a different assignment. They may also receive permission to access a private testing center to complete exams.

Students receiving treatment for OCD should communicate any absences due to appointments or medication changes. Some professors may waive missed attendance points if learners maintain open communication.

Some schools may facilitate OCD peer groups, where students share techniques and healthy coping skills.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

PTSD occurs in some individuals after experiencing a startling or dangerous event. During a scary moment, distress is a normal response. This fight-or-flight impulse encourages survival.

However, people with PTSD may feel unsafe and afraid long after the event ends. People with this disorder may also feel like they relive the situation through flashbacks. They may also experience recurring dreams about the event.

Fortunately, PTSD may resolve with time. However, many people must seek talk and exposure therapy to face their fears and feel better. Attempting to avoid thinking about the event or avoiding the event's location are symptoms of PTSD.

Where to Get Help

Speaking with other people with PTSD may help a person feel less alone. Even connecting with a moderated social media support group may help. However, some people need professional help to learn coping strategies.

Since PTSD commonly occurs in veterans, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs connects them with resources. This government department publishes tools for helping veterans find PTSD therapists.

Insider Perspective: Pursuing My Education With a Mental Disorder

Blake LeVine is a life coach and author with a master's degree in social work from Adelphi University. A bipolar disorder survivor, Blake has been healthy since 2005. He knows the importance of managing mental illness and uses his experiences to help clients deal with conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

He wrote "Beating Bipolar: How One Therapist Tackled His Illness ... and How What He Learned Could Help You."

Q. What Kind of Mental Health Issues Did You Have as a Student?

I was diagnosed with bipolar I disorder. I was in and out of psychiatric hospitals for two years. It was tough. I missed a lot of school and had trouble with friendships. My family experienced a lot of pressure to find the right treatments to help me rebuild my life. I'm stable now, but it took me a long time to put my life back together.

Q. When Did the Disorder Start to Manifest?

It started to manifest in my teens. I showed the first signs of it around age 15 or 16. I had been doing well in my life and was high-achieving in high school. But things started to unravel. I had my first manic episode that required a hospitalization. I couldn't sleep. I was nervous about my health. I thought I was dying and ended up going to the emergency room.

A few weeks later, I was diagnosed with bipolar. It took two years to find the right treatment. Medicine and therapy would go well, but I'd fall back into an incident again.

Q. Did You Have a Hard Time Functioning Academically?

Before all of this happened, I was in advanced classes and I did well in school. After it happened, it was much harder to attend school. For a short time, I had to go to a special school for kids with special needs. I went from excelling in school to having to reintegrate into school again.

Q. How Did It Affect You Socially?

Before, I was confident and had many friends. Afterwards, I felt knocked down. I was worried that other kids would make fun of me, or if I wanted to date, people wouldn't want to date me because of the illness. I became insecure for a while. Part of what I needed to do in therapy was find the courage to make friends again, potentially start to date, and get ready to be an adult.

Q. What Words of Encouragement Would You Give to Students Struggling With Mental Illness?

When I was sick, I felt so alone and hopeless. I would tell a young person going through it that there are many people experiencing these issues. If you take the right steps, you can have a full life. I'm happily married, I have two children, I've been educated all over the world, and I've written six books.

If I had known when I was so sick that any of that would have happened, it would have kept me a lot more positive. I really believe that if you take care of your mental health, you can do anything you set out to do in life.

The key is to accept what you're facing and get help. I love that all the pain I went through is helping inspire people.

General Tips for Student Wellness

The following general tips may work in conjunction with professional help and group therapy to improve a student's overall mental health. Sometimes, small practices add up to make big differences.

Eat Nutritious and Consistent Meals

Science backs up the idea of brain food. Managing mental health in college involves eating an adequate amount of whole foods. Avoiding meals or eating empty calories depletes energy levels and may negatively impact a person's mood. Eating at the same time every day may also improve digestive health.

Exercise

Exercise benefits physical health, but also mental health. In fact, exercise releases feel-good endorphins. Additionally, exercise can form an avenue for social interactions. Going on outdoor walks with friends may even increase low vitamin D levels. Healthy vitamin D levels may ease depression symptoms.

Find a Creative Outlet

A creative outlet allows for self-expression and mindfulness. Writing, painting, and taking photos may provide enjoyment and stress relief. Sharing meaningful art may help others with similar disorders feel less alone. The American Art Therapy Association publishes an Art Therapist Locator.

Apps That Promote Mental Health
