What is the study stress?

Students often seek counselling when they feel like they are not coping with academic pressure and their educational performance starts to suffer. In stressful situations like this, it is important for students to seek mental health support before things get out of control.

What is the impact of study stress on the body?

The physical symptoms of academic stress depend on many factors, but often include the following expressions:

over tiredness and lack of energy
frequent sickness or chronic pain
lack of appetite and digestive issues
racing heartbeats and overly sweating
tremor and trembling conditions
racing thoughts and inability to concentrate
insomnia or sleep issues
acne and skin problems
dizziness and breathing difficulty
nauseous feelings

The listed physical consequences of long-drawn study stress rarely go alone and often cause mental health issues.

How the academic stress affects mental health?

Educational anxiety often affects a student’s everyday mood:

a stressed student is easily frustrated or angry
the intensity can cause a person to get upset and cry more often
an anxious person can become easily offended, may hold grudges, or get into arguments

Protracted school stress can result in various harmful conditions:

hopelessness
demotivation
teariness
emotional bluntness or flatness
lack of appetite or weight loss
emotional eating and weight gain
difficulty concentrating or focus to get started on tasks
social withdrawal
being easily reactive or irritable

What does a student counsellor do?

Study stress has various effects on body and mental health.

Student counsellors help students identify the emotional issues caused by study stress and explain why things get out of control. Our mental health specialists help students better understand their anxiety and stress reactions.

A timely support of an experienced psychologist can protect a student from common negative stress-coping strategies.

Common negative stress-coping strategies:

taking recreational drugs
eating more fast food or snacks
drug dependencies
drinking beverages
not exercising
overeating
smoking

Student counselling can help you notice the signs of those unhelpful coping methods early and break the harmful habits before they take a hold of your life. Your long-term health is crucial for your future success.
