A Comprehensive Investigation into Mental Health Challenges Among University Students in Pakistan: Causes and Remedial Approaches

Abstract

A total of 300individuals aged 18 to 27took part in a survey examining mental health concerns  among  university  students. The  research  review explores  these  problems' underlying  origins  and  suggests  workable  solutions.  The  impact  of  peer  pressure, technology  use,  familial  expectations,  financial  restrictions,  societal  and  cultural  standards, academic  stress,  and  economic  uncertainty  on  students'mental  health  is  emphasized  in particular by the study. Finding out how common mental health issues are among Pakistani university  students,  identifying  risk  factors  that  are  linked  to  these  issues,  and  investigating the  complex  relationships  between  academic  stress,  employment  instability,  and  mental health  outcomes  are  the  main  goals  of  the  research.  Utilizing  a  quantitative  research approach  and  a  cross-sectional  design,  information  was  gathered  from  300university students  in  Pakistan  using  stratified  random  sampling.Data  analysis  indicates  that  students experience mild anxiety, hopelessness, tension, loneliness, and sleep disturbances.
