The study aims to reveal the reality of mental health for students,
from the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories, and study in the Intensive
Academic Program, and identify some mental health variables (sex, age,
social status, family size, professional status, physical status, height, and
weight). The study sample is chosen randomly and consists of 200
students, and Cornel new list (1986) was used, and the psychometric
sufficiency was verified. The study concluded that students' symptoms of
psychometric disorders were medium, and the most prominent symptoms
are those related to insufficiency, then anger, sensitivity, stress, anxiety,
and finally depression. As for the sex variable, the study showed
differences in the following clinical dimensions: insufficiency, sensitivity,
anger, and the total degree in favor of females. However, the study results
have not shown differences in the other dimensions. As for age variable,
the results showed differences in the dimensions of insufficiency, anxiety,
anger and on the total degree in favor of students aged 21-23 years, with
no differences in other dimensions. In addition, no differences were
shown on all dimensions and total degree for social status variable, family
size, and professional status. The results showed differences in the study
dimensions relevant to anxiety, anger, stress, depression, and the total
degree in favor of students who work and study, except insufficiency and
sensitivity dimensions. As for the physical status (height) dimension, the
study showed differences concerning anxiety and depression in favor of
students who are not satisfied of their heights. No differences appeared in
study dimensions relevant to insufficiency, sensitivity, anger, stress, and
the total degree. As for the weight, differences were shown relating to
clinical dimensions of depression, anxiety, sensitivity, stress, and the total
degree in favor of students who are not satisfied with their weights. In
addition to non-existence of differences in study dimensions relating to
insufficiency and age
