Dr. Paphino spoke on mental health issues faced by students owing to high academic work load and pressure. While pointing out that every 4th person in the world suffers from some kind of mental health issues, young people, especially students, are at a higher risk of facing problems such as stress and anxiety. He also mentioned that factors such as substance abuse, irregular attendance in class and lack of physical activities could elevate the level of stress, anxiety and overall mental health thus affecting the ability to focus and hampering the academic performance. Dr. Paphino encouraged the students to restrain from counterproductive behaviors and to be diligent and sincere in their academic work to mitigate any stress and anxiety. Doing one’s work on time and having healthy physical activity are crucial in maintaining sound mental health said Dr. Paphino.
