ABSTRACT
Examination stress is a common and significant concern among students, affecting their mental, emotional, physical, and academic well-being. While a certain level of stress can act as a motivating factor, excessive or prolonged examination stress can negatively impact mental health, leading to anxiety, sleep disturbances, reduced concentration, and poor academic performance. In today’s highly competitive education system, students face increasing pressure from academic expectations, fear of failure, peer comparison, and poor time management. This article explores the concept of examination stress, its causes, signs, and multifaceted impact on mental health. It also highlights effective coping strategies, including lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and social support. Furthermore, the article discusses the homoeopathic perspective on stress-related psychological disorders, based on classical homoeopathic principles. Homoeopathy emphasizes individualized treatment by addressing the mental and emotional state of the student alongside physical symptoms. Commonly indicated homoeopathic remedies for examination stress are outlined, demonstrating how a well-selected constitutional remedy may help restore emotional balance and improve overall well-being. The article concludes that homoeopathy, when combined with healthy coping strategies, can play a supportive role in managing examination stress and promoting better mental health among students.
