RECOMMENDATION
According to the obtained research results, we propose a number of recommendations designed in order to limit the depressive symptom in students at the university as followings:
- A range of discussion activities on experience and scientific learning methods to help student avoid stress and fatigue should be increasingly held throughout joining to studying club such as English clubs, French clubs..., participating in extracurricular activities such as sports, dance sports club, guitar club... Besides, chatting with friends and relatives is required for keeping psychological state balanced in stressful learning process.
- The extracurricular activities, psychological seminar are of necessity for the guidance on preventing depression from students, especially for freshmen enrolling at the university.
- Psychological counseling room in the school is critical to help students have difficulties in learn and in their personal life.
- In order to detect early depressive symptom in the student, it is necessary to carry on regular psychological tests.
- More research on each student form specialized in the particular problems should be taken place to find out solution of students' depression.
