This article analyzes hidden depressive symptoms observed among students, their underlying causes, as well as social and psychological factors that hinder seeking psychological assistance. The results of the study indicate that students experience a high level of emotional exhaustion, decreased motivation, and increased stress levels. Based on the findings of the research, practical recommendations were developed to improve students’ mental health. The importance of developing psychological counseling centers at universities, introducing anonymous consultations, and increasing psychological literacy among students is emphasized.
