The plot is one that involves the use of magic or witchcraft that takes place in a place that is fictional or undiscovered. The main theme of the fantasy plot is to combine an array of language, architecture, and technology, such as to resemble the European medieval ages.

However, most of them do not utilize the available traditional services for mental health and learning in higher institutions. The G.I.

Therefore, there is a need to examine the value of…
