MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

Mental health issues are one of the most common conditions faced by students all around the world. Some face anxiety attacks just before an examination, whereas others face various phobias throughout their learning period. Suicides are, unfortunately, a common occurrence amongst high school and college-going children.

At Amrita University, we understand the problems faced by a budding college student- academic pressure, leaving home for the first time, shifting to a totally new location to pursue a good education, or even saying goodbye to your parents. To make your transition as smooth as possible, we have experienced medical professionals to address all your concerns. Kindly book an appointment online or contact our campus clinic to book an appointment with our experienced staff. We understand that taking this first step may be daunting and promise to keep your identity confidential.
