•Available studies confirm that students report more mental health problems than the population of non-students in the same age.
•There is no empirical study data indicating that students are more susceptible to mental health conditions.
•University studies are connected with:• higher stress levels,• emotional problems related to moving from home and school to less structured university environment,• stress caused by studying and exams,• possible financial problems.

Mental health conditions among students
Often the system of studies itself causes acute or chronic stress which, in more sensitive and ambitious individuals, may result in various adaptation reactions that disturb mental health and social functioning not less that mental health conditions of biological nature.
![Page 20: Mental health and university students Michał Skalski Sleep Disorder Treatment Clinic Psychiatric Department and Clinical Psychiatric Ward of the Medical.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e985503460f94b9b793/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Summary:
The system of studies so far has been eliminating persons with mental health conditions from further pursuit of education.
Stress related to the attempts of adaptation to the system of studies often intensifies the course of illness, releases various acute and chronic adaptation reactions and increases the risk of complications (e.g. addiction, suicide attempts).
Such effects are a great loss for both the individual and the society. The system rejects or changes more susceptible and sensitive persons who, after adequate training, might prove themselves in many professions that require greater sensitivity or empathy.
Mental health conditions among students appear to be a serious problem of the academic community while the ways and standards of solving it have not been yet developed.
