How should college students maintain their mental health?

The role, status and living environment of college students are very different from those of high schools. First of all, college students should arrange their own lives and deal with problems in study, life and interpersonal relationships by their own abilities. However, according to a survey, 80% students have never washed clothes at home before, so their self-care ability is poor and they are highly dependent on their parents. Life problems have put some pressure on these students. Secondly, the university's criteria for judging students' merits are no longer just academic achievements, but include factors such as organizational management ability and interpersonal communication ability. The diversity of these standards makes some students who have excellent grades but are mediocre in other aspects feel uncomfortable, and their self-esteem is strongly impacted, resulting in psychological loss and inferiority.

In view of this situation, first of all, improving the ability to live independently is the first step to adapt to school and an important step to adapt to social life. Secondly, we need to learn to correctly evaluate ourselves, objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of ourselves and others in different environments, and realize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. We should carry forward our strengths and overcome them, instead of feeling inferior or giving up on ourselves because of our weaknesses.

2. Anxiety caused by study pressure.

Nowadays, universities have strict requirements for students' study. If they fail in several courses, they will be in danger of losing their degrees or even dropping out of school, which has caused some psychological pressure on students. In addition, universities pay more attention to students' self-study ability. Some students are frustrated because of improper learning methods and unsatisfactory grades, and the resulting tension is anxiety. Moderate anxiety level and necessary awakening and tension are necessary for people's study and work, but persistent and serious anxiety will make people lose confidence, interfere with normal thinking, and thus hinder learning.

Starting from the following aspects: first, we should establish correct and moderate learning standards, establish appropriate ambition levels, and avoid excessive anxiety caused by excessive expectations. In addition, it is necessary to improve self-study ability, master suitable learning methods and formulate good learning measures to effectively improve academic performance. If the anxiety is serious and lasts for a long time, it should be eliminated through psychological counseling.

3. Bad interpersonal relationships lead to emotional and personality disorders.

With the development of economy, the increase of social wealth, the popularization of modern household appliances, the weakening of the concept of brothers and sisters in urban families and the lack of neighborhood communication brought about by family planning, teenagers live in a relatively closed environment and are not good at communication. In addition, in college, interpersonal relationship is much more complicated than that in high school, which requires students to learn to interact with all kinds of people and gradually become socialized. However, some students are unable or difficult to adapt, and always ask others according to their own standards, thus causing obstacles to interpersonal communication. Poor interpersonal relationship will lead to lack of communication, psychological tension, depression and loneliness, which will affect normal study and life.

For students with bad interpersonal relationships, we should first learn to treat ourselves and others correctly and overcome cognitive prejudice. In addition, we should strengthen personality cultivation, overcome inferiority and shyness, and correct bad personality characteristics such as hypocrisy and selfishness. Thirdly, it is necessary to master certain communication principles and skills in order to establish normal interpersonal relationships and ensure the normal study and life.
