Abstract

This study investigates the psychological impacts faced by students during their academic training. Based on an analysis of 21 students, the levels of stress, anxiety and signs of depression were examined. The results reveal a variety of emotional and mental issues faced by these students, including high levels of stress, severe anxiety, and moderate depression. This article discusses the possible causes of these impacts, such as the academic environment, social expectations, and curriculum demands. In addition, the data collected are examined to understand the negative effects and their implications for the well-being and mental health of students, finding significant results, with 62% of the sample presenting anxiety, 86% very high stress and 14% severe depression along with 38% of the sample presenting moderate depression.
