Abstract : Mental illnesses change a person's thoughts, perceptions, and consciousness about themselves, other people, and the outside world through a variety of experiences and occurrences of differing intensities. The core components of human identity are emotion, perception, cognition, and action, and these are the key areas that are affected by mental illnesses. At Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India, this study was carried out. Male participants in the study range in age from 18 to 23. Verbal consent was obtained when the study's purpose was explained. This questionnaire had thirty responses. There were thirty questions in the survey. The elements of the questionnaire addressed exercise, sleep, thoughts, eating habits, gadget use, and addictions. The male volunteers were excluded from the study due to their unwillingness or lack of cooperation. According to our research, they need greater knowledge on eating a good diet, getting enough sleep, and drinking enough water, as well as about the harmful impacts of emotions and the problems they can bring. More guidance on mental health and mental strengthening exercises is required.
