Why it becomes the problem ?

Mental Illness can be said to be a problem because now, there is a big problem in
the world. I choose this problem because there are so many people who experience
mental disorders until they die. I will take an example for this incident in University

Problem Describe, Causes, and Effect

Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or

behavior (or a combination of these). Mental illnesses are associated with distress
and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities.

Approximately 78% of students, during their studies have experienced mental

health problems or mental health. 40% of which, besides causing suffering, also
disrupted his academic performance, and 33.2% seriously considered suicide. The
suicide of 3 students for 3 months in a college is a fatal problem in college. At
present, there are many students who experience mental disorders in the campus
environtmnet. The causes are very numerous, for example mental disorders due to
pressure from the many lecturers to be done, pressure from lecturers, as well as pressure
from the university environment itself. It can also be related to bullying problems that
causes the mentality of these students can be very disturbed.

The effect of this problem is there are many students who do not want to continue
their studies because too much pressure that they get. There are also many students
want to ed their lives. This problem becomes very serious and must be fixed
immediately. Because if not fixed immediately, the mortality rate in this world will
continue to increase and the quality of education will be seen as poor

How to Solve the Problem

- From my opinion and my knowledge :

In order this problem not getting bigger is surround ourself with good people.
Because people with strong family or social connections are generally healthier than
those who lack a support network. Make plans with supportive family members and
friends, or seek out activities where we can meet new people, such as a club or
anything.

- From goverment :

The government's solution to overcome this problem is that the government

should provide psychiatric facilities on campus. Then the government should give a
curriculum for character education lesson to build a character for this student. If this
program can be work effectively, it can be decrease mental illnesses and can be help the
students from mental disorders.
