Abstract
In recent years, according to the survey, college students have frequent psychological problems, anxiety, depression, inferiority, inter-
personal sensitivity and other psychological problems, and even more, even the idea of suicide. It has a very serious negative impact on
the family and society. Children are the flowers of the motherland, and college students are the important cornerstone of the country’s
future development. Therefore, the mental health problems of college students are particularly important. Based on the research of cog-
nitive computing, this paper combines the research data to analyze the influencing factors of mental health, analyzes the shortcomings of
mental health education, and proposes corresponding ideas and solutions.
