Academic stress refers to the pressure and anxiety students experience due to their educational responsibilities. This stress can arise from various factors, including heavy workloads, tight deadlines, and the desire to achieve high grades. It often affects students' mental health, leading to feelings of overwhelm and burnout. Many students face academic stress during critical periods, such as exams or final projects. This stress can impact their performance and overall well-being. Schools and educators are increasingly recognizing the importance of addressing academic stress through support systems, such as counseling services and stress management programs.
