MENTAL HEALTH AND SUCCESS: MODULE 1: A GUIDE TO ACADEMIC

Academicians' mental health becomes a vital focus point in the complicated world of academia, where knowledge acquisition is intertwined with teaching, research, and administrative obligations. This e-book explores the complex connection between the mental health issues faced by those traversing this intellectual landscape and the demanding nature of academic labor. Academicians are entangled in an array of high standards and work-related pressures, from the constant pressure to produce significant research to the sometimes disregarded responsibilities of administrative tasks and the never-ending search for research funds. They struggle to balance these expectations while dealing with the burden of teaching duties, job security uncertainties, and the widespread isolation that can come with pursuing a solo research route. In addition to shedding light on the complex work demands in academia, our goal as we begin on this research is to provide academics with tools and coping strategies that enable them to manage these expectations while preserving their mental health.
