According to Erin Sibley and Giancarlo Dimaggio (2020), high-achieving students were more likely to

experience higher levels of stress and anxiety, as well as depression and suicidal thoughts, compared to
their lower-achieving peers.

According to Bachmann & Copeland (2020), that high-achieving students experience higher levels of
academic pressure and stress, which can negatively impact their mental health. The study underscores
the importance of developing coping strategies and support services for this vulnerable population.
