Abstract | Adolescents pursuing academic excellence, particularly in competitive fields like medicine, are increasingly prone to stress and anxiety, which can significantly affect their physical, emotional, and mental health. This case study explores the effectiveness of art therapy and psychoeducation as therapeutic interventions for managing severe academic stress in a 16-year-old female aspiring to enter the medical field. The patient presented with acute anxiety, disrupted sleep, loss of appetite, and panic attacks, which were exacerbated by an overwhelming fear of failure and an inability to balance her studies with personal well-being. Over six therapeutic sessions, the intervention focused on psychoeducation, relaxation techniques, art therapy, time management strategies, and emotional expression. Early sessions emphasized understanding the importance of breaks, developing a structured timetable, and introducing relaxation through creative outlets such as mandala art. Subsequent sessions aimed at channeling her anxiety into constructive emotional expression, addressing physical symptoms like nausea and weakness, and fostering healthier daily habits, including improved sleep and appetite patterns. A pivotal aspect of the therapy involved using art as a medium to identify triggers and promote emotional regulation, culminating in the introduction of journaling and gratitude practices to help her let go of negative emotions and adopt a more balanced perspective. The intervention resulted in noticeable improvements, including enhanced emotional regulation, normalized appetite, better sleep, and the ability to integrate academic and personal responsibilities. This study underscores the efficacy of patient- centered, integrative approaches in managing adolescent academic stress, while highlighting the need for further research on sustainable and scalable therapeutic methods. |
