Emotional health and academic decisions
Choosing a major can feel stressful, especially when family expectations, financial pressure, or immigration status are involved. This site can offer structure for your thinking, but it cannot assess or treat mental health concerns. If your stress feels overwhelming, or you are struggling with motivation, sleep, or mood, please reach out to licensed professionals or campus counseling services.
Your well‑being matters more than any specific academic plan.
Why we talk about stress and burnout carefully
Choosing and pursuing a major can be stressful, especially when grades, finances, and family expectations collide. We occasionally mention stress, anxiety, or burnout in general terms because they are part of many students’ stories. However, we do not diagnose, treat, or offer individualized mental health advice.
If major‑related decisions are intersecting with significant distress, it is important to involve licensed professionals—such as counselors, therapists, or campus mental health services—who can understand your full context and medical history.
If you are in crisis right now
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, feeling unable to keep yourself safe, or facing an immediate emergency, this site is not the right place to seek help. Please contact emergency services, a crisis line, or trusted people in your life who can connect you with urgent support.
Starting with campus and local resources
If you are currently enrolled, many questions about health, accommodations, and crisis support are best answered by your institution. Most campuses maintain counseling services, disability resource offices, and emergency procedures tailored to their policies and region.
Why we stay within an educational role
Our focus is on helping you think through academic and career options. Even when we mention stress, energy, or burnout, we do so from an educational perspective, not a clinical one. That boundary is important for your safety and for respecting the role of licensed professionals.
