Nowadays, in most of the countries, people no longer worry about their
food and clothing. Instead, people are paying more attention to their mental
health. “Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social
well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how
we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.” (Mentalhealth.gov,
2017). Among those Asian Americans, mental health problems are especially common.
Except for the pressure of daily life and study, “Asian American students often
face culturally related factors” (NEW AMERICA MEDIA, 2013). This problem is so
common and serious that it caused thousands of students die every year. In a
research made by Ministry of Education of China
More than 45 percent of international students are prone to depression.
According to my feelings, most of the schools do not pay enough
attention to this problem. The absence of psychological clinics and high cost
becomes two most serious obstacles. And there’s another problem: Most students
who have psychological problems do not even realize that they need to see a psychiatrist.
Question: What can schools do to maintain international students’
mental health?
