By comparing and testing the mental health level of students from two similar colleges and universities with or without offering compulsory courses in mental health education in China, it was found that after systematically and comprehensively studying mental health education courses, college students' self-evaluation improved significantly, and their social anxiety and distress levels were significantly reduced, while students who did not take this course had no significant changes in self-concept and social distress. The educational method of psychological courses is permeable and active, and its content includes practical activity courses, special training courses, etc. This paper mainly studies the impact of mental health on the psychological quality of college students, to provide reference for educators.
