A new study has revealed that academic pressure on adolescents can have deep and long-term effects on their mental health.
The research found that individuals who experienced higher levels of academic stress at the age of 15 were more likely to suffer from depression in early adulthood.
The study also indicated that such pressure is associated with an increased risk of self-harm, a trend that may persist up to the age of 24.
Experts warn that excessive pressure related to academic performance can lead to serious consequences for young people’s mental well-being.
