Mounting student depression taxing campus mental health services
Article Abstract:
More college students may need treatment for depression at a time when colleges and universities do not have the resources to meet that need. The percentage of college students who needed mental health counseling increased from 21% in 1988-1992 to 41% in 1996-2001, according to one survey. College life coincides with the peak onset of mental health symptoms in the general population, which usually occurs between 15 and 19 years of age.
