Features of students' mental health

Abstract: The state of health of students in higher education is increasingly attracting the attention of specialists from various fields of medicine. This is due to the important role played by the group in society. Among the problems related to the protection of students' health, neuropsychiatric disorders occupy an important place. During the study of mental problems of different groups of the population, it became clear that this problem is even more relevant for students. Intensive work and study regimes place high demands on the compensatory mechanisms of the psyche, in which nervous disorders lead to stress, psychological and sociological conflicts, as well as the consumption of psychoactive substances, which is one of the most pressing problems of today. Extensive psychopathological, genetic and social psychological research is conducted in this area.
