Academic Well-being Under Siege: A Systematic Review of Faculty Mental Health Challenges

Abstract Despite being intellectually fascinating, academic employment is becoming more widely acknowledged as a major cause for anxiety and mental health issues for university professors. Using a methodical literature analysis, this study investigates the various stressors that academics encounter, such as rigorous teaching loads, significant research demands, administrative duties, and the never-ending quest for tenure and promotion. It critically investigates the multifaceted effects of untreated distress and looks at the substantial incidence of mental health conditions like stress, depressive disorders, and burnout among faculty. A drop in educational quality, increased organisational risks such as attrition, possible moral and legal ramifications, and a widespread detrimental effect on institutional culture are some of these repercussions. Systemic obstacles that worsen these problems, particularly in the post-pandemic age, are highlighted in the review. These include stigma, a lack of institutional support, and rigid policies. This paper seeks to advocate for the adoption of supportive institutional measures and effective, systemic interventions by synthesising existing data and bringing to light the hidden toll that academic jobs have on faculty mental health.
Keywords faculty mental health, academic stress, burnout, work-life balance, well-being.
