contents <p>This study investigates the relationship between mental health status and academic performance among college students in universities across Asia and Oceania. With growing concerns over student well-being, especially amid rising academic pressures, this research highlights the prevalence of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study gathered quantitative data through standardized surveys and qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups. Results indicate that over 60% of students experience moderate to severe psychological distress, with students in Asian universities reporting higher levels compared to their Oceania counterparts. A significant negative correlation was found between poor mental health and academic performance, emphasizing the detrimental effect of mental distress on GPA and overall academic success. Qualitative findings reveal key stressors, including academic expectations, limited support, and cultural stigma, particularly in Asian contexts. The study concludes that addressing mental health needs is essential for enhancing student academic outcomes. It recommends the implementation of comprehensive support systems, destigmatization efforts, and the integration of mental health education into university curricula. These findings have important implications for institutional policies and practices aimed at fostering healthier, more supportive learning environments.</p>
