In the current social environment, school students are facing a very serious situation in terms of learning and employment. How to use education to help students alleviate pressure is the main direction of education. Especially in the online environment, a good political orientation can help college students cultivate correct fertilization concepts, thus laying a good ideological foundation for their future development.

The study selected 50 college students with depression as the research subjects and divided them into two groups on average using random numbers. There are two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Both groups of patients received routine drug treatment, while the experimental group received teaching and treatment designed by the research institute to integrate ideological and political education with mental health construction. After 12 weeks of treatment, SAS and SDS scores were analyzed for both groups of patients.

The study selected SPSS23.0 statistical software for data analysis of the final results. The analysis results showed that there was no significant difference in various scores between the two groups of patients before intervention (P>0.05). After the intervention, the depression and anxiety scores of both groups of patients significantly decreased (P<0.05), with the experimental group scoring significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05).

The educational path of integrating emotional psychology with ideological and political education can effectively alleviate the life pressure of depressed college students and help them overcome difficulties.
