# How can I take care of my mental health as a student?



## Answers

### Answer by Siiri Heinonen

Students face pressure from exams, competition, careers and sometimes living away from home.

- **Keep a routine** with regular sleep, meals and some exercise.
- **Break studying into focused sessions** with breaks.
- **Stay connected** with friends and family.
- **Limit comparison** on social media.
- **Talk about what you feel**; you’re not alone.
- **Use college counselling services** if available.

If you feel hopeless, overwhelmed or have thoughts of harming yourself, please reach out immediately to someone you trust, or call Tele-MANAS at 14416, which is free and available across India.
