The main aim of this study is to scrutinize the factors contributing to mental health issues in EFL classrooms and to examine how these issues possibly influence students' academic performance. A sample of 63 third year LMD students of English took part in this study. A survey, through which the data was collected, was administered in order to reach the aim and to test the proposed hypotheses. The questionnaire covered a wide range of questions that tackled the most commonly recognised mental health issues, namely stress and anxiety, cognitive functioning, as well as academic performance. The findings reveal that students' academic performance will perceptibly increase if they receive help and instruction on how to successfully manage their mental health. This sheds light on the availability and efficiency of support services as well as the prevalence of mental health issues in the chosen setting. The results obtained could potentially further assist in the construction of plans and solutions to help students take care of their mental health and enhance their academic performance. In conclusion, addressing the mental health needs and issues of the EFL students is crucial and essential for their academic success and general wellbeing, and by putting forward effective interventions and offering sufficient support, the Algerian university can create a healthy and supportive environment that promotes good mental health and raises students' academic performance.enStress; Anxiety; Academic performance; Mental health; EFLOther
