Abstract:A number of studies seem to confirm a degradation of mental health among students in higher education. By developing a "mental health profile" for these students, the aim is to adequately specify remedial actions and initiatives. A sample of 1031 college students was used. The results found were: the mental health is superior to the general population, but the depressive symptomatology is superior to the normal population; probably 32.1% of young adults are emotionally disturbed; marijuana is the drug preferre… Show more
“…The increased demand of student mental health has become a global phenomenon and has reached parliamentary debate in the UK. UK initiatives have widened university participation such that students no longer represent a privileged group of society (Sarmento, ). Through this growing attendance, students are approaching counselling services at an overall higher demand and with more complex mental health needs (Holm‐Hadulla & Koutsoukou‐Argyraki, ).…”
University students attending counselling in the UK demonstrate clinical severity for academic distress, depression, anxiety, and social anxiety. Compared to university students in the US, UK students present with higher clinical severity on all contextual measures of student psychological distress. It is advantageous for university counselling services to administer a student-specific clinical measure over measures intended for the general clinical population. CCAPS-62 is an acceptable, feasible, and psychometrically valid measure of student psychological distress that can be used in the UK without revision. It is important for university counselling services to continue to provide support from therapists that are trained and experienced in the university context over services intended for the general clinical population.

“…There are eight main functions included in Fig. 2, briefly described as follows [3][4][5]: Software system management. The core functions are software maintenance, changing some or all according to demand change or hardware environment change, this function refers to the provision of software system management applications.…”
The traditional mental health information lack of management tools and platforms, it is not suit the needs of information age management. This paper design a software system to support system development. First, design the software architecture composed by data presentation layer, application layer, business logic layer , data access layer and data persistence layer; Then, design the software system work flow and its main function; Finally, using flowcharts do detailed design as psychological testing. According to the designed development software, can enable the mental health information management electronic, standardization and facilitation, has an important role in improving management efficiency, reduce management costs and improve service quality and other aspects.
“…Aside from students' alcohol consumption, indicators of loss of social support were also found to be associated with increased risk for psychiatric disorders (Blanco et al, 2008). It is also interesting to note that some literature surveyed (Deasy at al., 2014;Lee, Maria, Estanislao, & Rodriguez, 2013;Sarmento, 2015) suggested that students with higher levels of depressive symptoms are primarily women.…”
Education students face various challenges and depressive situations from their admission to their practice teaching experience. This case study examined how an institution addressed the issues on mental health and well-being of the students through its policy initiatives and sought to identify which policy alternative is best to address mental health issues and psychological distress among education students. To develop a comprehensive understanding of the institution’s position and ensure trustworthiness of the results, a methodological triangulation was done. Themes were generated from the data collected through document analysis, observations, and interviews. Results revealed the inadequacy of the provisions of the university code and student handbook to address mental health issues of students, the absence of a clear program and school prevention support, and the existence of Waray habits which restrain a proactive approach to solve similar issues. The study concludes that dealing with these issues on a case-to-case basis necessitates the provision of parameters to guide its stakeholders. From among the five policy options analyzed, the study recommended the development of a comprehensive campus-based mental health and well-being program that will ensure students’ mental and emotional preparedness in facing the rigors of their chosen profession.
