“Mental Breakdown and Its effect to Academic Performance on Senior High

School Students”

Introduction
A mental breakdown is an extreme emotional mental breakdown that affects only one
person or student and may cause problems in our daily lives. Our emotional and social well-
being are interconnected with our mental health. A mental breakdown can have a significant
negative impact on a student's academic performance. Every individual has their own problem
that sticks with them until they can no longer cope with thinking too much and develop mental
disorder, which is negative for the individual.
A mental breakdown is a period of extreme emotional stress. Mental breakdown is
connected to stress, and anxiousness can lead to mental illness and calmness. Having a mental
breakdown means that they are no longer coping or do not know how to solve their daily
problems. The researcher selects this topic because it can assist him/her in understanding why
mental health is so important to our society, and why mental health is important at all stages of
life because it influences how we think, feel, and act.
In the Philippines, a large number of participants reported distress with symptoms of
PTSD (post-traumatic stress), depression, sleep disturbances, and/or suicidal ideation and
attempts in January 2020, and were screened certainly for mental health problems. Participants
also mentioned academic issues ranging from difficulty staying focused to failing tests and
quizzes. These findings can be used to launch a discussion about the implications for mental
health professionals, administrators, and educators.

Statement of the Problem

A person experiencing an emotional breakdown will experience intensely painful stress
symptoms. They will be unable to deal with life's challenges, being unable to participate in
normal activities, cooperate, academic performance, and other responsibilities. This lesson aims
to determine the impact of a mental breakdown on the academic performance of students in the
Philippines. The researcher wants to answer this phenomenon and this issue is important to the
researcher because he/she frequently suffers from a mental breakdown and wants to know if
other people have suffered from a mental breakdown as well. 
Objective of the Study
 Having knowledge about mental breakdown.
 Identify what is the pros and cons of the mental breakdown.
 Identifying how this can be solved.
 Know the importance of Mental Health.
 Improves understanding of how mental illness can impact a person's life.
Research Question
Are you suffering from Mental Breakdown?
Do you have friend/s that having a hard time in school?
Do you often doing your hobbies to prevent this kind of situation?
Do you want to advocate this kind of topic for them to be aware what is mental
breakdown?

Hypothesis
Having a Mental Breakdown is a personal life experience that the majority of people go
through. Many students suffer from mental breakdown, and as a result, others develop depression
or anxiety because they can no longer control or cope with their anxious emotions. Mental health
is important in our lives, and it should be prioritized because this issue can affect students.
A mental health crisis, also known as a breakdown of your mental health, happens when
you are under intense physical and emotional stress, have difficulties dealing, and are unable to
work properly. Suffering from a nervous breakdown and anxiety is crucial to observe because
mental health has an impact on our entire body. If a student's mental health is unstable, it can
affect her or his academic performance or ability to continue doing what they are supposed to do.

Performance

Independent Dependent
 The Conceptual Framework shows how a Senior High School Student can be affected by
a Mental Breakdown. Senior High School students are affected by mental breakdown because
they are the ones who are most stressed about their future. They may suffer a mental breakdown
because most students struggle to deal with problems in their daily lives that they do not know
how to solve.

deteriorating. The researcher looks for small details that can help students be more health-
conscious. This research focuses on how to avoid and resolve this situation. The benefits of this
study include gaining more knowledge that can be used to help educate others how to deal with
similar situations.
This study has an impact on the researcher because she/he has had mental breakdowns.
