Due to the increasing study pressure, the proportion of anxiety disorders among college students began to increase. In order to solve this situation, colleges and universities adopt mental health education to treat college students. However, this method is only suitable for mild patients, and there are shortcomings in the face of patients with severe anxiety disorder. In order to improve it, this study combines Marxist spirit with mental health education in colleges and universities.

In this study, 800 college students suffering from anxiety disorder were selected and divided into two equal groups, including experimental group and control group, with the same proportion of male and female students. The experimental group was treated with Marxist spirit combined with mental health education in colleges and universities, while the control group was treated with conventional mental health education in colleges and universities. After one-year treatment, Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire (SARQ) was used to compare their anxiety disorder scores before and after treatment.

The average anxiety disorder score of these college students is 97.8, the average anxiety disorder score of the experimental group is 33.7, and the average anxiety disorder score of the control group is 65.3.

The experimental results show that the method proposed in this study can effectively intervene the anxiety disorder of college students, thus making college students’ psychology change into positive. The combination of Marxist spirit and mental health education in colleges and universities has no sequelae for college students and is suitable for relieving their mood.
