This comprehensive research study delves into the intricate interplay between psychological challenges and academic achievement among higher-level students at the University of Loralai. The investigation, involving a sample of 50 students from the Department of Education, sought to assess the prevalence and nature of psychological hurdles faced by these individuals. The data, collected through a Likert scale-based questionnaire, unveiled compelling findings. Notably, a significant 68% of participants acknowledged encountering psychological challenges during their academic journey, with 70% attributing mental stress as a pervasive factor affecting their academic performance. Anxiety emerged as a substantial contributor, with 60% of participants acknowledging its significant impact on academic achievement. Moreover, the study illuminated the role of depression, financial stress, and time management difficulties as key elements influencing students' academic challenges. Interestingly, participants highlighted the positive influence of outdoor activities, family support, and motivation techniques in mitigating these challenges and fostering academic success. The research concludes with a set of actionable recommendations, urging educators, government bodies, and parents to consider and address the psychological well-being of students, ultimately fostering an environment conducive to academic triumph.
