Abstract

This Study Examine Emotional intelligence or EI as an ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and those of the people around you. People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they're feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people. Though there is overlap between emotional awareness and critical thinking, there are skills involved with critical thinking that differ from those of emotional awareness. Specifically, the ability to access an emotion on demand to better understand a person or situation, and the ability to regulate emotions for growth. The four domains of Emotional Intelligence — self awareness, self -management, social awareness, and relationship management — each can help a leader face any crisis with lower levels of stress, less emotional reactivity and fewer unintended consequences. mental health needs among adolescents and young adults, there is a paucity of evidence regarding use of mental health services in young adulthood. This study look at mental health counseling between adolescents and young adults, examines characteristics and predictors of counseling of  young adults, and identifies reasons for foregone care among those with mental health needs in young adulthood.  Among individuals with depressive symptomology, young adults reported significantly lower rates of counseling use compared with adolescents. When taking into account the severity of mental health problems, female gender, high maternal education, school attendance, and receipt of routine physical examinations were significantly predictive of counseling use among young adults.
