ISO Customer Care | Jun 12, 2024 Health

Understanding mental health is vital for international students. It encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, impacting thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Despite misconceptions, mental illness can affect anyone, with symptoms like anxiety, depression, and mood changes. Self-improvement strategies such as hobbies, meditation, and omega-3 consumption can enhance well-being. Free resources like hotlines and online forums offer immediate support, while professional help from psychologists or psychiatrists may be necessary for severe concerns.

Don't hesitate to use your student health center or seek guidance from your international student office for assistance. By prioritizing mental health, you can navigate challenges and thrive during your academic journey in the U.S.
