This study looked at how psychological problems like stress, anxiety, and depression affect students' ability to succeed academically. Finding out how common mental health problems are among secondary school students, examining the impact these problems have on academic achievement, and evaluating the efficacy of school-based support networks were the goals. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data, while interviews were conducted to gather qualitative viewpoints from instructors and students. The research aimed to connect mental health conditions with academic achievement while identifying gaps within institutions regarding the management of these issues. The results highlighted the degree to which mental health challenges impede academic performance, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. By addressing these issues, the research aids in the development of policies and initiatives aimed at enhancing student well-being and fostering academic achievement. In essence, it emphasizes the importance of mental health as a vital component of both educational success and overall personal growth. | |
