This item is talking about College campuses are seeing an increase in the prevalence and severity of students’ mental health problems yet another side effect of the economic recession. Students worrying about paying tuition or having to work extra jobs to support families back home. The economy has been a noticeable catalyst for students seeking counseling services for depression and other mental health concerns. Students are balancing mutliply jobs and worrying about college. It seemed interesting, cause i will be on my way to college next year. depression and anxiety levels are increasing.Yes i agree counselers are helping out students cause they shouldnt be all this stressed out. I would use this site again they have alot of infomoration on different things.

dang...im going to college next year
ReplyDeleteSamantha, I am so glad you picked this article and your spost is so good. Despite everything you hear about college being the best time of your life, it also has periods of sadness, homesickness, and major anxiety. College IS fun, but it also is a time of tremendous growth, and that sometimes involves pain. Don't assume that you're the only one stressed out so you must be doing something wrong -- you just see your friends when they're in public. Economic stress adds yet another layer to what in many ways can be difficult at times. I like what this story said about making it easier for students to get help. If in doubt, get help.
