Many people do not realize how important mental health is for students. Many colleges and universities do not deeply concerned with their students’ mental issues. Many students are very stressed out by writing 10 pages essay, submitting their homework in time and so on. If a student has a mental issues, and go to the health office in their campus, they just tell you to go to hospital and do not concern at all. Many students cannot do their best when they are too stressed out and have mental issues. For some students, these mental health can lead them to killing other students, or committing suicide. These tragic events became a huge problem these days in United States. Many students commit suicide because of their stresses. A professor in UCLA once said these mental issues can also affect students’ social life. Those people who have some issues with their mental health, have trouble with socializing with others. The real problem is that can mental health problem be excused. It is really hard to determine that whether a student have mental health issues or not. They can always fake and be excused. If students have serious mental health issues, students have to be excused from their school works and others that may affect their life, but these mental health issues cannot be as excused as any physical effects. I think scientists or doctors have to find out ways to distinguish mental health issues and make them excusable for people who mental health issues affects their life hugely. And to reduce students who fake to have a mental health issues. Scientists and doctors also have to work hard to find out how to cure mental health issues, not by any kind of medicine, by exercising or by communicating with different types of people and share their thoughts. Mental health has to be a number one health priority for every person.
