A study conducted by researchers at Abdelmalek Essaâdi University in northern Morocco has found that 27% of surveyed students exhibited indicators of suicide risk. The research, published in 2025, highlights growing concerns over student mental health in the country.
The study surveyed a sample of university students and assessed their mental health using standardized tools. The findings indicate that nearly one in three students may be at risk, with factors such as academic pressure, financial stress, and social isolation contributing to the issue.
Mental health experts have called for increased support services on campuses, including counseling and awareness programs. The Moroccan Ministry of Higher Education has acknowledged the problem and is working on initiatives to address student well-being.
Further details on the study's methodology and specific recommendations are available in the original publication. The researchers emphasize the need for early intervention and destigmatization of mental health issues among young adults.
