This study attempts to examine the relationship between depression, stress, anxiety and resilience among college students. Resilience is an effective tool to overcome the threats of life and it prepares an individual to fight with the adverse situations of life. It provides the strength and courage to face problems of life effectively. Stress adversely affects the emotions of an individual. Anxiety affects the perception, thought process and other cognitive processes of a person in a negative manner. Depression is a serious mental illness that adversely affects the life of a person leading to the development of various psychological disorders. This article indicates that there is positive correlation of students' depression with anxiety and stress but all the three mental illnesses had a negative correlation with resilience. Although through self awareness and sometimes through some tips and techniques individuals can improve their resilience. For a person to become more resilient sometimes may also need professional help.

Abstract


This study attempts to examine the relationship between depression, stress, anxiety and resilience among college students. Resilience is an effective tool to overcome the threats of life and it prepares an individual to fight with the adverse situations of life. It provides the strength and courage to face problems of life effectively. Stress adversely affects the emotions of an individual. Anxiety affects the perception, thought process and other cognitive processes of a person in a negative manner. Depression is a serious mental illness that adversely affects the life of a person leading to the development of various psychological disorders. This article indicates that there is positive correlation of students' depression with anxiety and stress but all the three mental illnesses had a negative correlation with resilience. Although through self awareness and sometimes through some tips and techniques individuals can improve their resilience. For a person to become more resilient sometimes may also need professional help.
