Abstract

University students face multiple psychological challenges during their academic journey. Academic pressure, social adaptation, financial difficulties, and uncertainty about the future contribute to elevated stress levels. When stress becomes chronic and unmanaged, it may lead to depression and increase the risk of suicidal tendencies. This article examines the theoretical and empirical connections between stress, depression, and suicidal ideation among students. The paper highlights psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship and emphasizes the importance of early intervention and preventive strategies within higher education institutions.
