Abstract

Drug abuse may be a critical issue among undergraduate understudies, and it has negative impacts on their academic, social, and individual lives. The inquiry covers mental and environmental variables intricately connected to undergraduate students' health and well-being. Psychologically, components such as stress, anxiety, sadness, low self-esteem, and peer pressure play a critical part in drug abuse among undergraduate students. stressful occasions, such as academic pressure, relationship issues, and money-related challenges, can lead students to resort to drugs as a coping mechanism. Moreover, the craving to fit in with peers and social desires can lead students to engage in drug use. Environmental components such as easy access to drugs, accessibility of drugs on campuses, and the impact of family and companions moreover contribute to drug mishandling among undergraduate students. Social and cultural norms that advance drug use and glamorize drug culture can moreover impact understudies to utilize drugs.
