Abstract: This study investigates the psychological impacts faced by students during their academic studies. Based on an analysis of 21 students, the study examined their levels of stress, anxiety, and signs of depression. The results reveal a variety of emotional and mental issues faced by these students, including high levels of stress, severe anxiety, and moderate depression. This article discusses the possible causes of these impacts, such as the academic environment, social expectations, and curriculum demands. In addition, the collected data are examined to understand the negative effects and their implications for the well-being and mental health of students, finding significant results, with 62% of the sample presenting anxiety, 86% very high stress, and 14% severe depression, along with 38% of the sample presenting moderate depression.
