The increase in mental health issues is influenced by population growth, social

modifications such as urbanization, changes in people’s lifestyle, emotional problems

and mild mental illness. All three authors from the three articles clearly pointed out
that factors contributing to mental health issues started at the ages of 15 to 16 years
for those who were interviewed but an increase was the ages of 18 to 21. A Musbali
et al (2018) greater prevalence of suicidal ideation cases is among university
students compared to the general population of the country. J Bantjes (2020) the
most common risk factors for suicide include, untreated mental health problems,
social isolation, financial difficulties, heavy substance abuse and interpersonal
conflict. Feeling hopeless, ashamed, powerless and trapped also increases the risk
of suicide. Particularly if these feelings are unbearable and seem to not go away.
The conditions that were listed as risk factors for suicide are interrelated with the
conditions for mental health issues. H Manchiri et al (2016) these conditions include
the unfamiliarity of students with college on admission, detachment from family, lack
of interest in admitted field, incompatibility with other people in the living
environment, lack of faculties, as well as financial and other problems. What I have
seen so far is that there is a link between mental health issues and suicide, because
suicide risks can come from having mental health issues. Goldberg and Hillier (1979)
mental health indicators include somatic symptoms, anxiety, social dysfunction, and
depression.

Why are young adults/ university students most prone to experiencing somatic
symptoms, anxiety, social dysfunction, and depression. And how do they deal or
cope with it?

To answer my research question, I would have to interview young adults/university

students to acquire the information that I need. These would be the most relevant
