Relevance of the Mental Health Problem of Higher education Students: analysis and Prospects of Solution for Kazakhstan

Abstract

The analysis revealed that the problem of mental health is relevant at the global level, with a marked trend of increasing psychological stress, depression, and anxiety, especially among young people. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, there is an insufficient study of awareness of mental health among students; the lack of comprehensive preventive measures to improve their mental health, as well as a high level of suicide, exacerbate this problem.
Creating an educational space that provides favorable conditions for students' mental health is a priority task for educational institutions at all levels. It is due to the need to form an environment that promotes the free and harmonious development of personality and the satisfaction of social and cognitive needs, as well as increasing the body's adaptive capabilities to improve students' quality of life and overall health.
