Abstract

Mental health of students in higher education is a public concern and its impacts have heightened awareness of this issue. A conceptual review has been carried out to address the central question of this chapter—what are the mental health disorders that affect students in higher education institutions? Improved knowledge of aspects associated with mental health crises and also those that increase the mental well-being of students can provide a foundation for designing plans and specific interventions that can prevent poor mental health and ensure targeted support is available for students at increased risk. Therefore, the chapter recommends that universities adopt a proactive approach and implement innovative programs that can preempt students' misery
