 Now days, there are so many cases of mental breakdown among students, this could
effect their study. Mental breakdown known as an experience when someone is going through
psychological distress that presents a few specific symptoms such as sadness, worry, intense
stress, changes in eating and sleeping habits, wanting to withdraw from friends and family, and
feeling overwhelmed. Some major life events can cause a person to feel this way, including
chronic medical conditions, poor sleep, a traumatic event, a loss in the family, stress at work
or financial issues. Now we are going to talk about what cause of mental breakdown among
students and how could this effect their study

Firstly, some of student get used to drink an alcholic and use drug. They getting use to
drink alcohol or drug maybe from their own parents. Their parents getting drunk at house or
even their sibling become drug addicted. This will make the student want to know how it's feel
like to get drunk. This will damage their liver and other organ. Compared with men, women
develop alcohol-induced liver disease over a shorter period of time and after consuming less
alcohol. Student who drink heavily, and student without risk factors associated with heart
disease. Because of that, this will make the student sick and will not go to school.

Secondly, getting toxic or unhealthy friend one of the reason that there are so many
cases of mental breakdown among students, Toxic friendships or even their classmate can have
a pretty significant impact on overall well-being and not positively. Spending time with friends
who don't care about their feelings can eventually affect the students emotional and physical
health. An unhealthy friend, far from helping relieve stress, can add to it. They might say or do
things that upset you when you spend time together. This will effect their study because A toxic
friendship might leave the student feeling ignored instead.

Lastly, living with stressful life. Stress symptoms can affect Their body, thoughts
feelings, and behavior. Being able to recognize common stress symptoms can help them
manage it. Stress that's left unchecked can contribute to many health problems, such as high
blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

The conclusion, the parents should give their full attention to their son. Don't let their
son stress. The parents should give moral support or they should seek of a professional
counselor ortherapist, who can help you identify sources of your stress and learn new coping
tools.
