My research question is how mental health affects college students. This topic interests me because I think mental health is not spoken of, especially in school. I think it’s important because college can affect a student’s energy level, concentration, dependability, and mental ability. Attending college can be a stressful time for many students. In addition to coping with academic pressure, some students have to deal with stressful tasks. I am a college student myself. I do see that I lose motivation and sometimes I feel down about myself. Sometimes schoolwork can be overwhelming.
