| The Real Campus Mental-Health Crisis and New Models for Well-Being |
|
The data are clear: college students are reporting rapid spikes in anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. According to the national Healthy Minds study, which surveys thousands of undergraduates and graduates of all ages, the number of students screening positive for anxiety has jumped from 17 percent to 31 percent in just six years. Additionally, the number of students who were screened for major depression has more than doubled in the last 10 years.
The Chronicle’s new report, Overwhelmed, dives deeper into this upsetting trend and explores how to handle the surging demand for mental-health services, fulfill legal obligations, and make well-being a campus-wide priority.
