Abstract

ABSTRACT

The enforcement of the movement control order that started in 2020 has affected student’s lives in many ways including learning methods, task or assignment submission, group discussion and presentation that were changed into online form. Therefore, students felt exhausted and stressed out with the online learning situation which led to changes in their behavior due to the time spent mostly on their gadgets such as smart phones and laptops. This study identified UiTM Rembau students’ understanding on depression and anxiety issues. The approach used is quantitative study through an online survey that has been distributed to 141 respondents. Data obtained were analyzed by using SPSS version 23.0 and Microsoft 2019 Excel Spreadsheet Software. According to the findings, a mean of 3.58 with the understanding of depression and anxiety disorders can lead to a prolonged sadness disorder, which can cause fatigue, lack of energy, irritation, and a loss of interest in everyday activities among students. Keywords: Understanding, depression, anxiety
