To explore the impact of self-esteem types on individuals’ mental health status and attitudes toward psychological help-seeking, 551 college students were surveyed using Self-Esteem Scales, Self-Esteem Contingency Scales, depression and anxiety scales, and attitude towards psychological help-seeking scales. The results showed that: (1) College students had a relatively high overall self-esteem level of college students was high, and self-esteem contingency was high; (2) In terms of symptoms of depression and anxiety symptoms, the severity followed the order: individuals with low self-esteem>fragile high self-esteem>secure high self-esteem; (3) Regarding attitudes toward psychological help-seeking, low self-esteem is more negative than fragile and secure high self-esteem. There is no significant difference in attitude towards psychological help-seeking between fragile high selfesteem and secure high self-esteem. This study suggests that emphasis should be placed on the cultivation of secure high self-esteem.
