  • Abstract:
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as ‘a condition of full physical, mental and social well-being and not only the absence of sickness or infirmity’. These findings suggest that addressing the global burden of illness caused by mental disorders—which is substantial—should be a top priority in the effort to enhance health worldwide. Unipolar depression, self-inflicted injuries, and alcohol use disorders are among the top three primary causes of illness burden across all age groups. In addition to the isolation, stigma, and prejudice that people with mental illness already face, their ability to function in daily life may be impaired by their condition. At the societal and neighbourhood level, this load may have far-reaching economic and social effects. Schools and family are crucial social units which underpin the health and well-being of all persons. For the sake of students' long-term well-being, it is imperative that educational institutions prioritise students' psychological, social, and physiological well-being. New pressures have forced schools to prioritise pupils' emotional and social health. Safe habitats may be fundamentally created via detection and prevention.
