With its fast pace and challenges, today’s life causes various mental disorders including stress, depression, anxiety, abuse, and traumatic experiences. Unfortunately, due to widespread social stigmas many cases of mental disorders remain undiagnosed.Mental health is a complex subject, and research essays on it make the studying process more effective, as they let students investigate different types of mental disorders and their influence on people’s health.
