Introduction. This article presents the results of a study aimed at studying the influence of the motor activity regime of young people studying in higher education institutions on their mental health. The aim of the study. Considering that, according to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), the meaning of the term "Human health" is interpreted as the state of its complete physical, mental and social well-being, mental health of a person should be understood as an integral part of health, which is determined by the following indicators: the absence of pathological changes in the body, the ability to fully perform physiological functions, the stability of the processes of interaction with the physical and social environment. Materials and methods. In conditions of mental health, a person is capable of an adequate response to stressful situations, productive activity and the performance of certain social functions. In addition, she is capable of controlling her own emotional state, developing relationships with others, and assimilating new knowledge and practical skills. Education in institutions of higher education is a complex and responsible process associated with an intense impact on the central nervous system of a person. Therefore, the control of mental health indicators during the educational process in higher education institutions is an important condition for preserving the resource of professional health of both teachers and students. Results and discussion. Students perceive most of the educational information with the help of visual and auditory analyzers. Therefore, the dynamic control of the functional state of these analyzers in the learning process in higher education institutions is extremely important. First of all, you need to investigate the initial state of the visual and auditory analyzers before starting the learning process. For this, special medical research techniques and appropriate equipment should be used. Those students who have certain deviations in the state of the visual or auditory analyzers (myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, hearing loss) should be taken on special account and periodically monitored for changes in the state of their analyzers during the educational process. For these students, it is necessary to establish individual regulations for visual and auditory loads and constantly monitor their strict observance. In addition, individual algorithms of daily physical activity should be developed for all students, since it is this aspect of a person's functional activity that plays an important role in maintaining the optimal state of his mental health. Conclusions. Our research has shown that the development and implementation of methods for maintaining the mental health of students and stimulating the cognitive functions of their central nervous system into the daily activities of higher educational institutions contribute to improving the quality of training of specialists and ensure their ability to effectively work in their chosen specialty.

Background. We examined correlates of past year suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB) and described past year treatment experiences among young people who inject drugs (PWID). Methods. Participants were 570 adults (18-25 years) who injected primarily heroin. Interviews were conducted at field stations operated by Community Outreach Intervention Projects in Chicago, Illinois (USA). Interviewers administered the Psychiatric Research Instrument for Substance and Mental Disorders. Substance use and mental disorders were based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Past year STB was based on multiple questions. Results. Sixteen percent of men and 25% of women reported STB in the past year. In multivariable analysis, STB was associated with non-heterosexual orientation, foster care, and being raised by two parents. Primary major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, and borderline personality disorder had independent effects on suicidality. Among those reporting past year STB (n=111), 83% ever received mental health treatment, while 44% did so in the past year. While 24% of respondents indicated that at least one treatment matched their needs very well, 30% reported treatment that did not match their needs at all. The most common reason for ending treatment was program completion (about 50%) while getting better was endorsed by about 25%. Nearly half reported ending treatment due to a bad experience, logistical issues, or expense. Conclusions. Young PWID are at high risk for suicidal behavior and their mental health treatment experiences often do not meet their needs. There is a pressing need for more integrated substance use and mental health treatment.

The author reveals the necessity of introducing into the educational and professional programs of preparation of masters of non-pedagogical specialties of the discipline "Didactics of higher education". Formation of pedagogical competences of the teacher of the higher school will allow the future specialists professional activity in the institutions of higher education. The article reveals the essence of didactic competence and peculiarities of its formation in higher education students in the current conditions of organizing the initial process. The competency approach should permeate all aspects of student training. Therefore, a special (didactic) competence should be included in the list of the graduates' learning outcomes. The didactic competence is the ability to apply knowledge of psychology and pedagogy (didactics) in the educational process of higher education institutions. In the orientation of the educational and professional program of the master of non-pedagogical specialties it is necessary to enter competencies that allow him to engage in teaching activities. General competences add to the ability to carry out pedagogical activities using innovative educational technologies, and special competences add to the ability to organize the educational process and carry out scientific research in order to solve topical problems of the theory, methodology, organization and practice of higher education students. One of the most important compulsory (normative) disciplines that enable the future specialist to teach special and professional disciplines in higher education institutions should be "Didactic of Higher Education". This is the main feature of forming didactic competence in higher education institutions. But the competent approach in higher education does not come down to a separate discipline, but because the phenomenon of integral and dynamic develops in the process of formal, non-formal and informal education and is in constant development and self-development. All stages of preparation of the master of non-pedagogical specialties for teaching activity should be directed on achievement of the main purpose of the educational process — formation of pedagogical competences of applicants of higher education.

The article considers the main approaches to the problem of stress resistance of students in higher education institutions of Ukraine. It is determined that a number of scientists consider stress resistance as a property of the individual that determines its effective activity, and others as cognitively conditioned mechanisms for overcoming stress. It is noted that in psychological science there are other views on the stress resistance of the individual, but when studying the stress resistance of students in the educational process of higher education, it is advisable to use the above approaches. Studies suggest that most students have low levels of psychological stress, mental stress and medium, high levels of resilience. The main coping strategies of students’ behavior in stressful situations are “confrontational coping”, “avoidance”, “self-control” and “problem solving planning”.

Research on the interaction between gut microbiota and the brain may have implications for our understanding of brain function, cognition, behavior and mental health. The literature on gut microbiota and its role in the pathophysiology and potential treatment of mental disorders has proliferated in recent years. Several neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, have been linked to the gut microbiota. The present perspective discusses the promise and pitfalls of gut microbiota research in relation to mental health. The manipulation of intestinal microbes in animals has revealed connections between gut microbiota and both normal and pathological brain functions. The hope fueling this research is that gut microbiota could be harnessed to prevent and treat mental disorders. The links observed between an imbalance of gut microbiota and impaired behavioral and mental states in humans are correlational. It is therefore essential to establish cause and effect relationships. No distinct gut microbiota patterns linked to different mental disorders have yet been identified. Large-scale, longitudinal trials need to examine whether the gut microbiota is a valid therapeutic target for mental disorders and whether pre-clinical findings and initial results of intervention trials (e.g., administration of probiotics) are of clinical relevance.
