Mental health literacy is a term originally coined the in 1990s that refers to the recognition, prevention, and management of mental illness.

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

In addition to social support, self-efficacy has also been associated with student health as a protective and predictive factor of healthy behaviors (Von Ah, Ebert, Ngamvitroj, Park, & Kang, 2004). Research indicates a strong relationship between self-efficacy and health behaviors; however, the direction of causality is unclear and there is …
