Abstract

This study examines the impact of media consumption, mindfulness, and spirituality and mental health in young people. There has been a noticeable rise in psychological distress among educated youth in recent years, which has prompted a more thorough investigation of the various environmental and personal factors that influence people's mental health. (Sweeting et al., 2010) This study looks at the effects of media consumption, mindfulness, and spirituality on the mental health of young people going to college. A structured questionnaire developed using an existing measurement scale is used in this study's quantitative research design to collect data. However, some scales are adopted, while others are modified. The results contributed to the body of knowledge and assist educators, policymakers, and mental health practitioners in developing culturally relevant interventions and awareness campaigns that promote youth resilience, balance, and positive mental health outcomes. The findings shows that individuals who demonstrate higher levels of spirituality and mindfulness are significantly likely to demonstrate better mental health outcomes, while individuals who involves in excessive and uncontrolled media consumption are likely to demonstrate a correlation with increased levels of stress and anxiety. Result of the study shows that there is need of awareness regarding better mental health among youngsters and it shows that there is need of policies for better usage of media, which connect individuals towards spirituality and healthy mindfulness activities.
