Introduction: College students face a myriad of social challenges that significantly impact their mental and physical health. This comprehensive review explores the intricate relationship between social dynamics and health outcomes among college students. Key social challenges, including difficulties in making friends, roommate conflicts, and social pressures, are examined for their effects on mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. The review highlights how these mental health challenges can lead to physical health problems, including sleep disorders, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Additionally, the impact of social stressors on academic performance and cognitive function is discussed.
Methodology: This review article employs a comprehensive literature review methodology synthesizing findings from online sources published between 2019 and 2023. Key areas of focus include the prevalence of social challenges, their psychological and physiological impacts, and effective interventions.
Result: The results highlight the impact of social challenges in sowing the seeds of social anxiety leading to stress, depression along with other health problems and how important it is to address social issues in order to enhance students' general wellbeing. In order to mitigate these issues, effective interventions like peer support programs, mental health services, and faculty involvement are essential.
Conclusion: The review concludes with recommendations for enhancing campus health programs and policies to better support students. Future research directions are suggested to further understand the complex interplay between social dynamics and health in the college setting.
