Depression Rises on College Campuses

Submitted by BrainPhysics Staff Tue 12/21/2010

A recent report shows that depression is increasing in college students:

"College can be a daunting task for everyone, independence from your parents can be exciting, but the lack of the familial support can create significant problems.

Recently, the American College Health Association (ACHA) reported that depression among college students is on the rise along with the associated feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and suicide attempts."
