Summary
Mental health is essential for students' emotional, cognitive, and social well-being. University life presents significant academic, social, and financial challenges, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and depression. These psychological difficulties negatively impact students' academic performance, relationships, and overall quality of life. Despite these challenges, many students avoid seeking professional help. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an effective approach that enhances psychological resilience and helps individuals cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. Instead of changing negative thoughts, ACT fosters psychological flexibility, encouraging individuals to develop a healthier relationship with them. Research supports ACT's effectiveness in reducing psychological distress, improving emotional regulation, and enhancing life satisfaction
