Abstract

Mental health is a very important matter, but it seems to be neglected by many, for example, in educational instances such as university. Students often face many problems while getting involved in learning process at university. Mental health awareness has increased but we still face a world where people with mental health problems face discrimination, and face challenges in getting the help they need. Many people who have a hard time try to hide their feelings for fear of how others will react. Fear of discrimination and feelings of shame are among the main reasons people give for not telling others about their mental health problems. This study is aimed to analyze what to do towards students’ mental health so that students will perform better achievement. The subject of this study is university students with various background and age. This study is a descriptive qualitative research: focus group discussion and library study as the method to collect data.
