REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The researcher reviewed several books,

unpublished nd thesis and dissertations, periodicals
and other reading materials either foreign or local
to acquire relevant information. Contents of this
chapter are therefore obtained to support the
concepts of this study.

Related Literature

The related literature was taken from the local

and international issues.

The effects of mental health are often hidden

behind what many educators consider to be
undesirable behaviors in their students. Too many
times when educators see students
misbehaving the initial reaction is to think, “Stop!”
They immediately think this child needs to
fix their behavior. In reality the first question
they should be asking themselves is, “What is
causing this child’s behavior?” For some children
this behavior might be out of their control.
According to the Central for Disease Control and
Prevention (2021) 1 in 6 children aged 2 – 8
(17.4%) had a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or
developmental disorder and these numbers
increase as students get older as diagnoses become
more prevalent in the 12 – 17 years old range.
Based on this statistic, it is reasonable to assume
an average elementary classroom will have
students with a diagnosed mental health disorder. As
mental health disorders are becoming more
prevalent in children, Administrators are concerned
teachers are not properly trained to identify or
support these children (Ghandour, Sherman, et al.,
2019). Teachers often choose to attend classes to
learn more about children deal with mental health
issues, but no mental health training is required of

them. The problem is more and more students are being
diagnosed with mental
health issues are affecting their academic and social
success in school.

The purpose of this literature review is to

determine the effects of mental health on
students in relation to their academic and social
success. The benefits of this research will show
what teachers can do to help students with mental
health challenges be most successful.
Educators have classrooms are filled with many
individuals and it is their responsibility to
understand each individual and create an environment
where each student can succeed. If
educators fail to take the time or do not have the
resources to learn about the effects of mental
health, they are unable to properly support all of
their students. The Effects of Mental Health in Students 5

This literature review examines peer reviewed

articles within the last ten years focus on
the effects mental health has on children. First this
review will focus on the prevalence of mental
health in children ages 6 – 17 years old. Then this
literature review will examine the most
common mental health disorders, the risk factors may
cause them, environmental factors, and if
there is any correlation between certain
demographics. The next part of the literature review
will look at the effects mental health can have on
students academically, socially, and behaviorally.
The last piece of the literature review will
highlight ways teachers can better prepare themselves
to support students with mental health focusing on
teaching strategies and tools assist students
with mental health issues to be successful in School.
