Spirituality and its Effects on Adolescence Mental Well Being

Abstract

Rapid developmental changes and increased emotional vulnerability characterize adolescence, a crucial time in life. Research on the importance of spirituality as a coping strategy for adolescents’ mental health has grown in recent years. Spirituality can have distinct effects on mental health outcomes, especially in India, where spiritual practices are intricately entwined with cultural norms. The study investigates how spirituality affects teenagers’ mental health. It looks at a number of aspects, including social connectedness, emotional resilience, and stress management. In order to give a more thorough understanding of this relationship, the study also incorporates case studies and statistical data. According to the research, spirituality protects adolescents from the negative effects of stress, anxiety, and depression by fostering mental health. Yet, the impact differs in various socioeconomic and cultural contexts, calling for a sophisticated strategy to comprehend and promote youth spirituality.
