The purpose of this study is to examine the state of psychological issues facing college students and to suggest measures for mental health education to positively impact the mental well-being of such students. The study involved analyzing the records of psychological counseling sessions conducted between January 2021 and February 2023 at our university's psychological counseling center. A total of 110 undergraduate students were selected as research subjects, and their records contained name, gender, grade, family economic status, family atmosphere, and types of counseling questions. The results indicated that out of all the students who received counseling, 72 were females (65.45%), 62 were freshmen (56.36%), and 41 came from underprivileged families (37.27%) with 58 experiencing an unharmonious family atmosphere (52.72%). The issues discussed during counseling sessions included interpersonal difficulties (33.64%), emotional problems (20.90%), self-development (11.82%), and relationship troubles (10%).In conclusion, female students, freshmen, those from poor families and those from unharmonious family situations are more susceptible to mental health issues. Also, the primary areas of concern discussed during counseling sessions involved interpersonal challenges, emotional problems, and love-related issues. As such, measures are needed to promote mental wellness and reduce the incidence of mental health challenges among college students.
